The Technical University of Denmark is introducing CDIO as the basis for all of its 8 B.Eng. study programs. A task force has developed a roadmap for the process, and defined common goals and guidelines for the future CDIO-based study programs. The paper reports on this proc-ess and highlights areas where the context or the approach differs from that of previous adopters of CDIO.
