Current Issues Restructuring the Mechanical
Engineering Curriculum

• DTU has two parallel educational programmes. A
  five years programme giving a M.Sc. degree, and a
  3 ½ year programme giving a B. Eng. degree.
• The M.Sc. programme is intended to attract
  theoretically strong students.
• The B.Eng. programme is directed towards more
  practically oriented students.
• The staff responsible for the M.Sc. curriculum is
  research based.
• The staff responsible for the B.Eng. curriculum
  is currently teaching staff.

26
Restructuring of the Mechanical Engineering
Curriculum contd

• Both programmes are objects for renewal. Due to
  changes, so that all staff in the future will be
  research based, the programme for the B.Eng. is
  now reengineered and the new curriculum will be
  launched September 2003.
• The M.Sc. curriculum is planned to be renewed and
  launched by September 2004.
• The new M.Sc. curriculum must consist of a 3
  years B.Sc. programme plus a two years M.Sc.
  programme.

CDIO from a DTU perspective ...

• How shall we use the recursive nature of CDIO?
• Documented effects of various stages of CDIO?
• How to set up a measuring system at an early
  stage?
• How to manage the shift in paradigm ?
• Can CDIO help us to go from teaching to
  learning ?
• Staff involvement in CDIO-teaching ?
• How to involve industry and professionals ?

Why are we here? ...

• We have a number of tasks at the DTU ... (but
  you offer a starter kit for that)
• We need the focus ...
• We need the dialogue ...
• We need to know about tips and tricks
• We would like to offer what we do, to compare,
  and to contribute ...
• ... and we would like to join you in the search
  for proof of the effects of CDIO.
