This paper reports on the challenges associated with running a design and communication program for a large cohort of first year students. By aligning the program’s learning outcomes, learning activities, and assessment techniques with the CDIO syllabus, the authors show that there is the opportunity to realise the program’s objectives in a sustainable manner.
