Design and Conduct an Introductory Course Under Current Chinese Context

Design and Conduct an Introductory Course Under Current Chinese Context

X. Lu, Z. Chen (2007).  Design and Conduct an Introductory Course Under Current Chinese Context. 6.

 

The college of Engineering, Shantou University adopted the CDIO initiative. Currently, Chinese freshmen are inexperienced in teamwork and project management. The freshmen in the College will choose their degree programs only at the end of year one. Hence an introductory course was designed to fit for general engineering students. It was aimed to prepare them for the CDIO learning styles.

The course first discusses the roles and responsibilities of engineers. Then, riding on the development of products the students are gradually introduced some basic project management skills. The CDIO competencies are also incorporated into the course of the project conduct. After the first run of the course, the achievements and flaws of the course are discussed in this paper.
