This document accompanies a document called “The CDIO Standards”, revised January 4, 2010, which describes each standard and provides a rationale and rubric for assessing compliance with each standard. The focus of this document is on types of evidence that may be used to determine compliance with each standard.
In general, the types of evidence needed to document compliance with the CDIO Standards are similar for each standard. The specific nature of the evidence is influenced by the focus of the standard as well as local practices, resources, and needs. These examples of evidence are drawn from self-evaluation reports of CDIO programs conducted in 2005 and 2008. Evidence is given for each level of the rubrics described in “The CDIO Standards” document.
