As one of the first steps towards the CDIO adaptation, a first-year introduction to engineering course has been included in the curriculum of the undergraduate engineering program in Information Technology at Turku University of Applied Sciences. In this paper, the learning objectives, contents and implementation structure of the course according to the current plans are presented. It is described, how problem based learning cycles will be utilized to facilitate the learning process. Furthermore, one of the key success factors of the pilot course implementation, the formulation of the design-build assignment to be given to the student groups, is discussed and the community is encouraged to contribute the course planning process with their ideas and experience.
