This book describes an approach to engineering education that
integrates a comprehensive set of personal, interpersonal, and
professional engineering skills with engineering disciplinary
knowledge in order to prepare innovative and entrepreneurial
engineers.The education of engineers is set in the context of
engineering practice, that is, Conceiving, Designing, Implementing,
and Operating (CDIO) through the entire lifecycle of engineering
processes, products, and systems. The book is both a description of
the development and implementation of the CDIO model and a guide to
engineering programs worldwide that seek to improve the education
of young engineers.

This book describes patterns of behavior that collectively allow
universities to exchange knowledge more effectively with industry,
accelerate innovation and eventually contribute to economic
development. These are based on the effective practices of leading
and ambitious universities around the world that the authors have
benchmarked, and the personal experiences of the authors in a
number of international institution building projects, including
those of MIT. The authors provide guidance that is globally
applicable, but must be locally adapted. The approach is first to
describe the context in which universities act as engines of
economic development, and then present a set of effective practices
in four domains: education, research, innovation, and supporting
practices. Each of these domains has three to six practices, and
each practice is presented in a similar template, with an abstract,
a rationale and description, key actions and one or two mini-case
studies. The practices are summarized by integrative case studies.
The book: Focuses on a globally adaptable set of effective
practices, complemented by case studies, that can enhance
universities' contribution to economic development, based on an
integrated view of education, research and innovation; Presents
effective practices and broader insights that come from real global
experience, spelled out in templates and explained by cases;
Includes tangible resources for university leaders, policy makers
and funders on how to proceed.
