Integrated Program Descriptions – A Tool for Communicating Goals and Design of CDIO Programs

J. Malmqvist, S. stlund, K. Edström (2006).  Integrated Program Descriptions – A Tool for Communicating Goals and Design of CDIO Programs. 13.

The paper presents a framework which brings together the goals and the design of an educational program. This achieved by combining the CDIO syllabus and the CDIO curriculum design tools, in a framework that also includes the statement of program-specific goals for disciplinary knowledge. We call this framework integrated program descriptions.
