CDIO educational framework helps students to construct their expandable knowledge, personal, interpersonal and system competencies. We have put in practice the 3 level projects CDIO approach in the College of Engineering, Shantou University. The projects are divided to three Levels: Level-1 projects would be designed to cover the most of the knowledge and competencies of a bachelor program; Level-2 projects are designed to cover the knowledge of a group of the related core courses; Level-3 projects, which are similar to a course designing, are designed to cover a core course. We describe the designation, implementation and evaluation of the Level-2 projects in Computer Science program. The students answer our inquiry to the approach. The inquiry indicates that the level-2 projects are benefit to training students understanding of the project design, team spirit and mode of thinking.
