Scholarly development of engineering education – the CDIO approach

Abstract

This special issue is the result of an open call for submissions reflecting on and reporting insights from experiences to improve education with the CDIO approach. They provide scholarly contributions advancing the topical research as well as inspiring further improvement of educational practices in different contexts. The eight selected articles are examples of engineering education research and development within the domains of the CDIO Initiative. We present the papers grouped under headings that highlight the different perspectives and levels that are represented in the CDIO community.
