To develop bachelor engineering programs to include more practice in engineering the Board of the Institute of Technology at Linköping University decided to introduce CDIO concepts in three bachelor engineering programs at Campus Norrköping. Three design-build-test courses are planned, one in each year of study. In this paper we present the first design-build-test course. This course is called Engineering Project and ran during the autumn semester 2005. We also present the students’ evaluation of the course and discuss our experiences and future development of the course. Our most important conclusion is that the supervisor for a project group is very important and it is also important that the meetings between the supervisor and the group are organized as formal meetings with minutes taken. The supervisor must give quite strict guidelines for these meetings to get a good result in the project. The concept of designbuild- test projects works well in these engineering programs.
