UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY - AEROSPACE
ENGINEERING

• Four year undergraduate program graduating 1000
  per year with commissions in Navy, Marine Corps,
  and allied military services.
• Approximately 40 of graduating class are
  engineers all majors including 50 hours of
  science and engineering
• Aerospace graduates 60/year, most of whom go
  into Naval Aviation as pilots and weapon system
  operators.
• After six years of operational experience, many
  Aerospace grads will attend test pilot school.
• Grads dominate Astronaut Office, Naval Air
  Systems Command, NASA and major industry
  leadership (Boeing, Northrop Grumman and Lockheed
  Martin)

5
USNA-CDIO MOTIVATION

• USNA Aerospace moving haphazardly towards
  CDIO-like program before hearing of CDIO
• Design/Build/Fly
• Small Satellite Program
• CDIO provides an framework for systematic
  development and expansion of activities.

6
USNA CONTRIBUTIONS

• Graduates are Operators of advanced technology
  systems
• - the program has operational orientation
• Fundamentally grant a leadership degree in the
  context of engineering
• Developed assessment effort and expertise

• 6.000 students B.Sc. / M.Sc.
• 600 ph.d.
• 200.000.000 EURO turnover
• 67 state funded
• 33 externally funded

CDM THEMES

• consulting services and advice to departments and
  groups of teachers
• seminars and ad hoc courses
• courses in pedagogic for teachers and
  Ph.D.-students
• projects of special relevance to the development
  of teaching at DTU

11
DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The Department contributes to the basic and
higher levels of education in the fields of
mechanics, advanced design tools, product
development, energy systems and marine
technology. It is responsible for essential parts
of the Mechanical Engineering line of the BSc
program, and for coordination of the preliminary
four-semester programs in Mechanical Engineering
and Energy Technology and of the study fields of
Energy and of Design and Mechanics for the MSc
program at DTU.

THE INSTITUTE FOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

• A non-profit organisation at the TU of Denmark

• Innovation projects on contract

• since 1956

• 70 fulltime IPU staff

• 90 associated DTU staff

• Turnover 7 mill EURO/year

• Donations to DTU 1 mill EUR/year

CURRENT ISSUES RESTRUCTURING A MECHANIC
ENGINEERING CURRIULUM

• Basically DTU has two parallel educational
  programmes
• A five years programme giving a M.Sc. degree
• A three-and-a-half 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-only staff.

19
CURRENT ISSUES RESTRUCTURING THE MECHANIC
ENGINEERING CURRIULUM

• 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 three
  years B.Sc. programme plus a two years M.Sc.
  programme.

A HETEROGENOUS ENGINEERING COMPETANCE
Innovative Socio-technical competencies
Competencies in creativity synthesis

• Highly project oriented Every semester, 1 10,
  has its project activities.
• Teaching of engineering subjects integrated into
  the projects.
• Students, in families of 15, have a permanent
  working space a base.
• Final projects combines synthesis orientation
  with hardcore campus technology from other
  departments.

Reflective technological engineering competencies

THE THREE TASKS
25
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 ?
• CDIO Help us to go from teaching to learning
  
• How to get staff involvement in CDIO-teaching ?
• How to involve industry and professionals ?
• IPU Its role in CDIO learning and proof of
  success ?
• ...

26
MOTIVATION TO JOIN THE CDIO PARTNERSHIP

• We have a number of major education renewal tasks
  at the DTU ...
• We need the focus ...
• We need the dialogue ...
• We need to know about tips and tricks
• We need to move towards a more scientific and
  research oriented approach to education
  development

27
DTU CONTRIBUTION

• Experience in educational paradigm changes, in
  assessment, and in the application of didactics
  and methodology, at the Centre for Engineering
  Educational Development.
• Experience from a newly established, Design
  innovation education
• heavily focused on synthesis and C-D-I-O
• with a new approach to the teaching of
  engineering basics integrated INTO the projects
• with a focus on innovative Socio-technical
  competencies.
• Amble ground for the testing of starter kit,
  self-certification, IRMs
