This paper presents a part of the ongoing Conceive – Design – Implement – Operate (CDIO) Program for Engineering Education Reform, which is run by Chalmers University of Technology, the Royal Institute of Technology and Linköping University, all in Sweden, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MA, USA. In the paper we present and discuss first-year introductory courses in engineering education programmes at the four universities from a CDIO perspective, with an emphasis on the student projects in these courses. Presented the SEFI Annual Conference, Firenze, Italy, 08-11 September 2002
