The Gordon-MIT Engineering Leadership Program: Relationship to CDIO Syllabus v2

The Gordon-MIT Engineering Leadership Program: Relationship to CDIO Syllabus v2

D. Soderholm, E. Huttner (2013).  The Gordon-MIT Engineering Leadership Program: Relationship to CDIO Syllabus v2. 10.

In June 2011, version 2.0 of the CDIO Syllabus was released, which contained updated and expanded information, including an extension on Leadership and Entrepreneurship. Comparing the structure of the CDIO Syllabus with the Bernard M. Gordon-MIT  Engineering Leadership Program’s (Gordon-MIT ELP) fundamental document, Capabilities of Effective Engineering Leaders, reveals a great deal of overlap. The Gordon-MIT ELP has created a curriculum for undergraduate engineering students based on these Capabilities and has delivered it to hundreds of students to date. This paper will illustrate the connections among the CDIO Syllabus, the Capabilities of Effective Engineering Leaders document, and the curriculum and curricular elements of the Gordon Engineering Leaders (GEL) component of the Gordon-MIT ELP.
