The CDIO framework is an integrated and important part of the new quality assurance system within the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Linköping University. Both the CDIO Syllabus and the CDIO Standards are used extensively in the system. First, the paper presents the development and use of the second generation of course matrices (previously denoted ITUmatrices) and program matrices, which build upon an adapted and extended version of the CDIO Syllabus. The extension is made to also include bachelor’s and master’s program in subjects outside the engineering field. Second, the paper presents how the CDIO Standards are used in the quality reports, which are vital parts of the quality assurance systems. As a result, the CDIO framework is used for the design, management, and quality assurance of all education programs (approximately 60 programs) within the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Linköping University.
