Pedagogical Approaches 1/2

• New curricula for all engineering programmes
• Existing practices active teaching, projects
  aligned with the needs of industry
• Consistent with national requirements
• Structure basic studies, core studies, elective
  professional studies
• Duration 4-year Bachelor of Engineering
  programme, 240 ECTS
• Internship 30 ECTS
• Freely elective studies 15 ECTS
• Final thesis 15 ECTS

12
Pedagogical Approaches 2/2

• Consistent with ECTS requirements
  competence-based matrix, modular or theme
  approach (4 x 15 ECTS, 40 weeks/a)
• Consistent with FEANI engineer requirements
  maths (gt10 ) and mathsciences (gt20 )
• Consistent with CDIO Introductory engineering
  project, Metropolia project to be carried out on
  innovation platforms, integration of courses
  (disciplines), module/theme-based instruction

13
Views on CDIO

• Challenge of integration of studies 1000 years
  long tradition of disciplines
• Should engineering be called as one of the
  disciplines?
• Learning objectives are fragmented manageable
  human being manages 7(2) chunks of information
• Learning objectives vs. scientific vs. financial
  objectives regarding the projects

14
CDIO roadmap of Metropolia

• Commitment made in the autumn 2008
• First introductory projects started 1.9.2008
  (e.g. CDIO of a computer with software teamwork
  and communication)
• Start-up evaluation against the CDIO standards
  incl. engineers competences under planning
• Planning of second year integrated studies in
  2009
• Planning of innovation projects in 2010
• (100 projects !)
