Creating the CDIO Syllabus: A Universal Template for Engineering Education | CDIO - 0 views
-
This paper details how a team at MIT identified and codified a set of goals for engineering education, which can serve as the basis for curricular improvement and outcome based assessment. The result of two years of scholarship, these goals are embodied in The CDIO Syllabus, A Statement of Goals for Undergraduate Engineering Education. The specific CDIO (Conceive - Design - Implement - Operate) Syllabus objective is to create rational, complete, universal and generalizable goals for undergraduate engineering education. The Syllabus focuses on personal, interpersonal and system building skills, and leaves a placeholder for the disciplinary fundamentals appropriate for any specific field of engineering. It complements and significantly expands on ABET's criteria. The process of adapting the Syllabus to a degree program includes a survey step to determine the desired level of proficiency in the designated skills that is, by consensus, expected of program's graduates. With rationale, detail and broad applicability, the CDIO Syllabus' principal value is that it can be generalized to serve as a model from which any university's engineering programs may derive specific learning outcomes. Written for presentation to the ASEE/IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference, Boston, MA, USA, 06-09 November 2002.

What does an "open badge ecosystem look like -- and how can it benefit you? Any BADGE ISSUER (for example, an after-school programs, free online course, or vocational institute) can award certified BADGES to learners like you. Learns can then collect and manage their badges in a BADGE BACKPACK. This makes it easy to display your skills and achievements across a range of different DISPLAY SITES -- from your personal resume or web site, to social networking profiles, to employment sites. The result? Jobs, new learning opportunities and unlocked privileges.

Good Education vs Bad education is NOT about technology Just because you make kids buy BOOKS on Shakespeare doesn't make your school any better than the school that offers the entire library of Shakespeare (including every movie ever made based on Shakespeare's works) on an iPad, Laptop, or other new gadget.
