Integrated Learning

• Disciplines run vertically; projects and skills run horizontally

Integrated Learning

• To share on the designing of integrated learning experience on:

– Program level

– Course level

– Assignment

• You (in group) have to design an integrated project to promote innovative / transformative learning.

CDIO

• CDIO: Conceive — Design — Implement —Operate.

• It was conceived at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the late 1990s.

• MIT and three Swedish universities formally founded the CDIO Initiative => cdio.org

CDIO

• CDIO is an educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers.

• Complementing to OBE

• Example of implementation for SKEM:

– Performed CDIO analysis for SKEM program

– Introduction for IO in Intro2EE for 1st year SKEM students

– Missing knowledge in C-D-I-O is covered before the students can implement capstone project

Integrated Design Project

• Integrated design project (IDP) is also known as capstone project

• IDP is a final year engineering design project.

• Can be introduced in 3rd or final year as 1- or 2-semester project

• Required by Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) for engineering program.

Design Thinking

“Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that draws from the designer's toolkit to integrate the needs of

people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.”

(Tim Brown, president and CEO, IDEO)

Group Assignment (20%)

• Your group is required to plan an integratedproject so that the students can appreciatethe importance of the cross-disciplinarycollaboration and knowledge in solving a reallife problem innovatively and creatively. Theproposed project must be able to promoteinnovative / transformative learning. Eachgroup should consist of lecturers from variousschools.

Group Assignment (20%)

• Assessment guideline

– Definition of the proposed problem (5 marks)

– Multidisciplinary task distribution across schools /courses with justification (5 marks)

– Resources management: grouping / equipment /budget / schedule (5 marks)

– Promoted innovative / transformative learning (5marks)
