CDIO in Chemical Engineering Education

This presentation reports on the experience of adapting the CDIO Standards and Syllabus to a context of chemical engineering education, namely the B.Eng. program for Chemistry and Biotechnology at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The CDIO was adapted recently as a decision by management. This untypical approach calls for an implementation which largely is and continues to be a task of informing and educating faculty on the CDIO. As an important first step we particularly focus on a benchmarking process of the existing program in order to create an overview of course elements and curricular activities. This will identify where CDIO elements are already present, and where there is room for improvement of the bachelor program.
