Tooling CDIO with Mathemaitca Drafted by Ben Koo CDIO@Tsinghua
CDIO Offers • It engages students in the context of Conceiving — Designing — Implementing — Operating real-world systems and products • It is a collaborative educational model that involves academicians, and the industries to co-develop new curriculums and technologies. • Invite leading industries to help shape the syllabus and enhance students’ engineering capabilities. • MIT, Tsinghua University, and UNESCO’s office on Industry and Academic Collaboration (hosted at Beijing Jiaotong University) are members of the CDIO community and leaders in their respective regions.

What is Mathematica • A world-leading computing platform that is useful throughout the complete engineering life cycles of new products and systems. • Mathematica is: • The world’s largest collection of technical computing algorithms • The most well-integrated multi-media interactive environment • The key player in connecting mathematical education with technical computation Toy House
Why Mathematica in CDIO • Develop a deeper knowledge about advanced computational tools and theories. • Enable students create new technologies at a much higher rate with less engineering effort. • Enable students to use a Multi-paradigm programming language to reason about the creation and integration of new products, processes, and systems. Toy House
Proposal to Wolfram Research • A Mathematica-CDIO research lab • Creating CDIO-driven course material and syllabus using Mathematica • Developing complex design-build projects using Mathematica • Co-authoring Mathematica-based CDIO pedagogical material and online-resources (CDIO-Mathematica Web Sites) • Web-seminar • Interactive Mathematica Notebooks and Web Pages • Participants: Wolfram Research and 3 academic institutions • MIT’s Aero/Astro Department, Cambridge, USA • THU’s IE Department, Beijing, China • BJTU School of Software Engineering, Beijing, China Toy House
Mathematica Resource Required • 3 years of Mathematica educational software license • Annual Campus visits, and sponsorship of one major Mathematica-related local event per year,. • 5-Machine Grid Mathematica license per school • 20 Wolfram Media published books per school Toy House
Bundling Mathematica with CDIO Wolfram Research would get • Immerse future engineers in the computational universe of Mathematica during their college years. • Broaden the Education and Industry markets at the same time. • Systematically engage Wolfram’s Developers with engineering students and engineering minded customers, so that it may become the standard technical language for engineers. Toy House
Our Future • Avail more students and professors to work and think with the most advanced computing tools, Mathematica, • Result: • Attain a higher level of intellectual productivity • Wolfram Research would expose its products and services to a much broader categories of engineering schools. • The global reach of the CDIO initiative and the connections with the Top Chinese Universities will present a large number of marketing opportunities to Wolfram.
