The CDIO Initiative is an international collaboration to reform engineering programs of participating institutions. Student representatives are actively involved in the process together with faculty and staff. In order to better represent a majority of students, the student representatives initiated and carried out a survey of learning experiences among their peers. In the three participating Swedish engineering programs, students were interviewed about their study experiences.
