This paper provides a creative approach on how to implement CDIO-techniques into a Engineering Physics program. A comparison is made between the Vehicle Engineering program and the Engineering Physics program at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), in order to establish what the grounds and potentials for implementing CDIO into a new program environment are.
The Engineering Physics program is examined not only though the comparison but also through an indicatory survey performed with students, instructors and representatives from the industry. This is done in order to map the perceived nature of the program. Furthermore, these potentials are explored from the view of the Engineering Physics program at KTH, and implementation strategies are suggested and elaborated in accordance with derived results and indicators, using modelling and simulation as a ground for an abstract product orientation.
