1. What is CDIO?
CDIO is an acronym for the English phrase Conceive - Design - Opportunity – operate, CDIO stands for Conceptualization, Conceptual Design, Implementation, and Operation, originating from the MIT Institute of Technology (USA). To date, this model is increasingly adopted by universities and colleges worldwide. Essentially, CDIO is a solution to improve the quality of education and meet societal demands by defining learning outcomes and then designing curricula and training plans. This process is scientifically and logically structured and can be applied to many different fields of study.

CDIO is currently considered a new initiative in education, a system of methods and forms of knowledge and skill accumulation aimed at improving the quality of university education to meet the requirements of businesses and society. In this article, the author wishes to introduce the CDIO method to readers as a trend in modern teaching. (This article references material from Associate Professor, Dr. Vo Van Thang))
2. The Nature of CDIO
The CDIO framework originated as a methodology for developing engineering curricula, but in essence, it is a training process. based on output standards (outcome-based) to design input standards. This process is built to ensure both scientific rigor and practicality.
Overall, CDIO can be applied to build standardized processes for many different training fields beyond engineering, because it ensures a framework of knowledge and skills, for example, it can be applied to economics, business administration, etc. Therefore, it can be said that CDIO is essentially a solution to improve the quality of training, meeting societal demands, based on defining learning outcomes, thereby designing effective training programs and plans.
The goal of the CDIO-based training program is to equip students with the necessary hard and soft skills upon graduation, enabling them to meet the demands of society and keep pace with the rapidly changing realities of social life. High-achieving students can master and adapt their learning methods in a positive direction.
3. Key features of the CDIO training method
Integrated learning and active experience
According to the CDIO approach, students will learn personal skills, communication skills, product creation skills, process and system building skills, along with specialized knowledge in the program. practical training Professional. This is called integrated learning, and integrated learning has the advantage of allowing students to use their time in two ways: learning knowledge and learning applied skills in their field.
However, to effectively utilize the dual purpose of study time, it is crucial to adopt new teaching and learning methods. How can we optimize time without adding to the already dense curriculum of new theoretical content? This is a challenging problem. Currently, at Viet My College, a teaching and learning program based on active learning and experiential methods is one solution to this problem.
According to Dr. Do The Hung, integrated learning experiences based on the CDIO model lead to the acquisition of specialized knowledge, as well as personal and communication skills, and skills in creating products, processes, and systems. These are pedagogical methods that promote the learning of specialized knowledge simultaneously with the learning of personal and communication skills, and skills in creating products, processes, and systems.
They integrate practical professional technical problems into the contexts in which they exist, along with specialized issues. For example, students might consider the analysis of a product, the design of the product, and the social responsibility of the product designer, all within a single assignment. Business partners, alumni, and other key stakeholders are often helpful in providing examples for these assignments.
Teaching and learning are based on active experiential learning methods following the CDIO model, which includes methods that engage students directly in thinking and problem-solving activities.
Providing a highly skilled workforce.
Training based on the CDIO model helps to connect students' employability with the requirements of employers, thereby narrowing the gap between school training and the demands of human resource users; helps learners develop comprehensively with "hard skills" and "soft skills" to quickly adapt to the ever-changing work environment and even lead in that change; helps training programs be built and designed according to a standard process; the stages of the training process are interconnected and scientifically linked; and links the development of training programs with the delivery and evaluation of the effectiveness of higher education, contributing to improving the quality of higher education.
4. Summary:
CDIO not only provides a standard of learning outcomes but also a clear guide to training and educational management, including: leadership methods, higher education management, developing faculty with in-depth expertise, closely linking businesses with higher education institutions, project-based and group-based learning methods, curriculum reform, providing informal communication skills, experiential and proactive learning, curriculum design, learning environment, assessment methods, and the internationalization of higher education. Therefore, it can be said that CDIO is very useful in implementing effective training programs and is one of the solutions to improve the quality of higher education.
Today, universities worldwide are increasingly adopting the CDIO model, and its advantages and effectiveness have been confirmed and proven over time and in practice at many different institutions. Viet My College is also applying CDIO to its majors, such as: Business English, Public Relations and Hotel Management.
