34. On Engineering Education • Here's what we are: • A university with highly set goals to “produce” the best engineers who can really engineer! • CDIO – our framework for engineering education design • What we do well: • CDIO development & implementation since the start 2000, now with >50 collaborators • Experienced in integration of technical knowledge and engineering skills Our strengths and successes: Systematic program makeover at KTH using the CDIO approach Course level – program level alignment 10 years of systematic use of design-build projects Willing and able!

35. Educating Engineers who can Engineer • Here's where we want to go: • To the place where the students get what they came for – already from the start • To the place where programs and courses are aligned, in good sequence and build progression • What we could do better by leveraging a collaborative partnership: • Widen our perspective and learn from your iFoundry etc • Give students a wider perspective • Become better educators! • What we want to be: • The best educators in the class • Recognized as progressive educators
