Conceive Design Implement Operate

With similar concerns, some academicians launched a particular syllabus for engineering programs, a conceive-design-implement-operate (CDIO) of products, processes and systems approach (Crawley et al., 2011). For some CDIO is considered the authentic context of engineering education. Since 2000 CDIO has been used and endorsed by an organized international educational initiative. The CDIO syllabus is based on 12 standards (CDIO, 2012) ... 

The CDIO approach meets this challenge by educating students as well-rounded engineers who understand how to Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate complex, value-added engineering products, processes, and systems in a modem, team-based environment. The approach addresses three overall goals. 

In order to resolve this tension, we have developed a systematic vision for engineering education that encompasses the entire educational program. The CDIO approach envisions an education that stresses the fundamentals, set in the context of conceiving-designing-implementing-operating products, processes, and systems. The salient features of the vision are that ... 

The objective of this section is to elaborate the meaning, background and evidence of effectiveness of our belief that conceiving-designing-implementing-operating should be the context of engineering education. This belief is so foundational to the CDIO approach that it is captured as the first principle of effective practice, called CDIO Standard 1. 

Adoption of the principle that product, process, and system lifecycle development and deployment—Conceiving-Designing-Implementing-Operating—are the context for engineering education.
