Originally World-wide Initiative CDIO («Conceiving – Designing – Implementing – Operating») was developed as an international project for the reform of engineering education and bridging the existing gap between theory and practice in the future engineers training.
Worldwide Initiative CDIO has received a wide support from professional engineering community, as well as from a number of leading universities in the world and from international accreditation agencies. Currently, more than 100 HEI in 25 countries have started the realization of CDIO ideas in their degree programs.
Today, it became clear that the ideology and CDIO approach standards are applicable to any profile specialists training.
