CDIO Overlay Design

• Foundation laid for overlay design during the
  Benchmarking Survey- faculty started thinking
  about which CDIO topics were already included in
  their courses
• Ownership in the faculty
• Active design work by the faculty took place over
  an academic year
• Teams for 2x, 3x, 4x then teams for Core, PAS,
  Capstone
• Several versions and views of overlay designs
  were created for discussion, review, refinement

April 2002 Workshop

• Expanded versions, including cognitive
  progressions, of 2x, 3x, 4x mappings were
  discussed, debated, refined, by the faculty
• In 2x, 3x, 4x teams in the morning
• In Unified, Core, PAS, and Capstone teams in the
  afternoon
• After some swapping, trading, and dealing,
  final versions were created
• In subsequent curriculum committee meetings,
  issues that arose during the workshop were
  resolved

Final Preliminary Design

• Based on the results of the April Workshop
• Presented to the faculty for approval May 22
• Approved
• Two-page Design Overview Sheet disseminated to
  faculty for ease of reference
• Charge given to faculty to implement as much as
  is practical for AY 02/03
• Resources available over summer during semester
  for implementation help (IRMs will be vital
  resource when completed)
• Full implementation expected for AY 03/04
