The CDIO Syllabus 3.0 - An Updated Statement of Goals

2022

The CDIO Initiative is going through a process of reconsidering and updating the CDIO approach for engineering education development. Previous work resulted in substantial updates of the twelve CDIO standards and the introduction of “optional” CDIO standards. This paper reports on a similar review and update of the CDIO Syllabus to version 3.0. It has been developed by a working group consisting of four sub-groups and iterated and refined guided by feedback from the whole CDIO community. There are mainly three external drivers that 18 Proceedings of the 18th International CDIO Conference, hosted by Reykjavik University, Reykjavik Iceland, June 13-15, 2022. motivate the changes: sustainabili…

Women in technology-oriented fields

2015

This study focuses on investigating the main elements that have an effect on women’s decisions to enter a career in technology-oriented fields, and more specifically, to discover whether studying crafts, especially technical work, during basic education affects their decisions in this context. The study was carried out using a semi-structured questionnaire, and the data consist of the responses from 12 female technology education teachers and 12 female engineering students. A qualitative theory oriented content analysis was carried out through identifying, coding, analysing and reporting the patterns within the data. The findings revealed that the most influential career anchor identified b…

Intercultural competence as part of professional qualifications : a training experiment with bachelor of engineering students

2002

The globalization of working life sets new kinds of requirements on various organizations, in which intercultural competence should be understood as part of knowledge management and tacit knowledge and as a source of competitive advantage and added value. Its development should be started as early as possible. Here proactive Finnish polytechnics have a market niche. They can provide intercultural training as part of professionally-integrated foreign language education, for example. The present study was a training experiment in intercultural communication to Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) students (n = 117) at Kajaani Polytechnic, Finland. Työpaikkailmoitusten sisällön perusteella teollisuu…

Insinöörien ryhmäosaaminen : ryhmäosaamisen koulutus ja koulutustarpeet

2016

Tämän tutkielman tavoitteena oli kuvata ja ymmärtää, millaista ryhmäosaamisen opetusta ammattikorkeakouluissa tekniikan alalla järjestetään ja millaisia ryhmäosaamiseen liittyviä koulutustarpeita insinööreillä on. Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin ammattikorkeakoulujen viestinnän opettajien kuvauksia ryhmäosaamisen opetuksesta ja insinöörien kuvauksia työssään tarvittavasta ryhmäosaamisesta ja ryhmäosaamisen koulutustarpeista. Tutkimus toteutettiin laadullisin menetelmin teemahaastatteluiden ja verkkokyselyn keinoin. Tutkimukseen haastateltiin viittä ammattikorkeakoulujen viestinnän opettajaa eri puolilta Suomea. Verkkokyselyyn vastasi 65 työssä olevaa insinööriä. Sekä haastatteluaineisto että ky…

Innovatiivisen oppimisyhteisön profiili : ammattikorkeakoulujen tekniikan ja liikenteen koulutusalan näkökulmasta tarkasteltuna

2001

In Finland, polytechnics were formed during the 1990s by merging educational institutes of college level and higher vocational level. Currently, over 100 000 undergraduate students study in polytechnics. The main responsibilities of polytechnics are in education and developing working life. The agreed aim of the polytechnics is to instruct and operate in ways that are more practice-oriented those of universities. The basic idea underlying the framework of the present study is to examine the factors leading to success from a perspective of innovations in the educational field of technology and transport. The characteristics of a learning community are examined from the perspective of an indi…

Motivational Challenges of Engineers Participating in an Online Upskilling Program

2022

The present powerful surge of available online learning platforms will provide employees with enhanced opportunities to rapidly develop their skills, regardless of time and place. Despite the potential, there are challenges for participants on online learning platforms to finalise the courses they engage in. The reasons for the high number of students dropping out before completion of the course are motivational, social, and technological. Studies show that large skill gaps exist among industry employees worldwide. It is often caused by the implementation of new technologies, digitalization, as well as increasing requirements on sustainability and resilience. E-learning provides a major opp…

Discursive Identity Work and Interculturality during Blue-Collar Work Practice Abroad : Finnish Engineering Students as Language Learners and Users

2019

This chapter addresses foreign language learners’ and users’ discursive identity work and interculturality in the context of blue-collar work practice abroad. It focuses on Finnish engineering students who were working in Germany with the aim of learning about their field of study. The participants had learnt English as a foreign language at school but had little or no previous knowledge of the local language of the host country. The study aims to find out what discourses the students draw on, how they orient to sameness and difference and what identities they make relevant in these discursive processes. The data used for this study are interviews collected at the beginning and after the st…
