The CDIO As An Enabler For Graduate Attributes Assessment In Canadian Engineering Schools

The CDIO As An Enabler For Graduate Attributes Assessment In Canadian Engineering Schools

R. Brennan, R. Hugo, W. Rosehart (2011).  The CDIO As An Enabler For Graduate Attributes Assessment In Canadian Engineering Schools. 12.

Recent changes to the criteria for engineering accreditation in Canada emphasize continuous curriculum improvement through outcomes-based assessment. In this paper, we show how the CDIO approach not only enables continuous improvement, but can assist Canadian engineering programs with the overall graduate attributes assessment process.
