The convergence of questions about teaching and learning among MIMESIS, the research Group from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, and the CDIO Initiative led to reflection about electronics engineering curriculum. The process initiated as a result of the above has involved four stages: socialization of the initiative, adaptation of the CDIO syllabus, analysis of the body of knowledge, design of the curriculum structure using Backward Design technique, and the integration of competences defining a gradual process in their development. Should be highlighted the support given by the university administration, deans and directors of school of engineering; It is also relevant to point out collaboration provided by students, faculty, local industry, alumni and some high schools. During this process also managed to strengthen the relationship with the stakeholders. Today, motivated by the experience of electronic engineering, the civil, industrial and software engineering programs at the University have begun their own reflections oriented by the MIMESIS group. The present work shows the development of curricular reflection and the methodology implemented, which allowed us to formulate and to integrate, innovative curriculum in the Colombian context. Also is presented here the proposal of a teaching and learning Center for engineering that will support the CDIO standards.
