An implementation of CDIO/design thinking in mechatronics projects

Abstract: This paper presented an initial experience in implanting a full CDIO (Conceive -Design -ImplementOperate) procedure in a mechatronics course. Students learnt and completed product development projects with the university community as users. The course was highly successful with the net promoter score of 81% from students while the lecturers were very pleased. The design thinking modules could be easily added to the beginning and the end of a traditional course with high effectiveness. The key to success was to… Show more

“…There were walkthrough exercises and a semester project in which students designed and built mechatronics systems in small groups. Also, the design thinking was formally taught and included in the project conception [2]. Since then, there had been changes in the undergraduate curriculum due to feedbacks from stakeholders and industry.…”

“…Although there are not so many specific NPS studies in engineering education, we can refer to Sripakagorn et al (2014), where in a CDIO (Conceive -Design -Implement -Operate) implementation in a mechatronics course in the Chulalongkorm University of Bangkok, obtained an NPS of 81 from students after the course.…”

“…Essentially, CDIO is promoting "learning by doing" and "project-based education and learning", and many experts and organizations consider this approach as the direction for engineering education development now and in the future [4][5]. For example, by taking product's life from research to utilization as its carrier, CDIO aims to enable students to study engineering through a proactive, personal, precision, and organic way, to develop student's engineering capability, professional ethics, academic and operational knowledge, problem-solving skills, life-long learning ability, teamwork ability, communication skills and the ability to control large-scale systems [5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…CDIO inherited the thinking of engineering education reform in Europe and America in 1990s [4]. With funding from the Wallenberg Foundation, MIT joined three Swedish universities to form the CDIO Initiative in 2000 [6].…”
