Utilizing CDIO Engineering Workspaces to Facilitate Design-Implement Experiences

Utilizing CDIO Engineering Workspaces to Facilitate Design-Implement Experiences

S. Xiaoling, T. Wen, Q. Guo (2013).  Utilizing CDIO Engineering Workspaces to Facilitate Design-Implement Experiences. 10.

Design-implement experiences are a key feature of a CDIO program [1]. CDIO engineering workspaces are integrated learning environments promoting creative engineering development and facilitating hands-on project-based learning. In this paper, we present the design and development of our CDIO engineering workspaces under a ubiquitous computing campus infrastructure, discuss how the workspaces are utilized to support our CDIO curriculums and extracurricular student activities, and address the challenging issues of operational management and staffing of the workspaces. We will show that the CDIO workspaces have enhanced the education of engineering students; the design-implement experiences students obtained under our CDIO curriculum are highly rated by students and their parents, faculty, and industry stakeholders.
