The CDIO™ INITIATIVE is an innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers. The
framework provides students with an education stressing engineering fundamentals set in the context of
Conceiving — Designing — Implementing — Operating (CDIO) real-world systems and products. Throughout the
world, CDIO Initiative collaborators have adopted CDIO as the framework of their curricular planning and outcome-
based assessment [1].
[1] http://www.cdio.org
In this curriculum, the topics in each course have been classified under one or more of C-D-I-O to provide an
understanding to the students and faculties about the scope of learning. The CDIO approach addresses the needs
of students, faculty and industry by collecting and formalizing the knowledge, skills and attributes that student’s
desire and that industry leaders expect graduating engineers to have.

Practice : Learning by Doing

Students have to demonstrate their knowledge acquired and skill developed on learning a course through the
following individual and/or combined learning attributes
1. Practical Sessions (Wet lab / Dry Lab)
2. MOOCs / Industrial Certification
3. Projects
▪ Design Projects
▪ Investigatory projects
▪ Decision Making Projects
▪ Field Projects
▪ Analytics projects
4. Industrial Training
5. Proof of Concept
6. Internship
7. Research Paper Writing & Publication
