This research paper focuses on the implementation of CDIO skills corresponding to learning outcomes within the analyzed curriculum of the Mechatronics and Robotics Major. The study aims to identify the extent of alignment between CDIO skills and learning outcomes, providing recommendations for further enhancing the integration of these skills into the curriculum. The study commences by identifying the key CDIO skills pertinent to the mechatronics and robotics domain. These skills encompass Conceiving, Designing, Implementing, and Operating, namely the holistic nature of engineering education. A thorough analysis of the learning outcomes of the mechatronics and robotics curriculum is then conducted to determine the extent of alignment with the identified CDIO skills. A comprehensive review of relevant literature related to CDIO skills, learning outcomes, and mechatronics and robotics education was conducted. In the context of mechatronics and robotics education, several studies have been reviewed to investigate the impact of CDIO-based curriculum on student learning outcomes. The mechatronics and robotics major curriculum was analyzed to identify the specific learning outcomes associated with each course. The identified learning outcomes were mapped to the corresponding CDIO skills, ensuring that the curriculum provides opportunities for students to develop these essential skills. Additionally, the curriculum incorporates hands-on laboratory activities and design projects, providing students with opportunities to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world problems. (Atayeva, Sh. Garlyyeva, Ch. Orazov, Y. Innovative Approach to Training Sustainable Engineers) Recommendations are provided for strengthening the alignment between CDIO skills and learning outcomes, ensuring that mechatronics and robotics graduates possess the necessary skills to thrive in the challenging and dynamic world of engineering. The results of this study can serve as a guide for further enhancing the integration of CDIO skills into the curriculum.
