In September 2006, the Singapore Polytechnic's management decided that the entire institution will adopt CDIO. This applies to more than 30 full-time diploma programs involving 12 000 students in 8 academic schools and 800 faculty members. All will be involved in implementing CDIO in their programs over the next few years. To assist in the implementation, a small cross disciplinary team was set up. This cross disciplinary team is headed by the Educational and Staff Development Department and comprised members from the academic schools.
The team's challenge was to propose a model for implementing the different CDIO principles within the existing curriculum framework. They promptly identified three CDIO projects that had to be addressed immediately.
