The implementation of a CDIO program depends on the context where it is located as well as the institutional mission and program goals. Additionally, it is essential to take into account relevant administrative issues and strategical aspects for an effective adoption of the CDIO standards. In order to select the most appropriate strategies for the implementation of a CDIO program, it is necessary to consider different dimensions that turn this task out a complex problem. Under this consideration, this article applies the general morphological analysis (GMA) for the definition of the implementation strategies for a CDIO program. The results were contextualized to the Electronic Engineering Program at the Universidad del Quindío, Colombia, analyzing four relevant cases: the current state, the desired state, the state with institutional elements, and the state with program elements. The proposed cases can be adapted to other institutions seeking to implement a CDIO program with similar features.
