Taylor’s University is first and the only Private based University in Malaysia to embrace the CDIO initiative forming the main pedagogy for all Project Based Modules within the Engineering programmes.

 

The CDIO Initiative™ was pioneered by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), together with leading engineering schools around the world, to address the gap between industy needs and the quality of engineering graduates being produced. 

 

The CDIO Initiative™ consists of more than 120 schools around the world organized into 7 regions; Europe, North America, Asia, UK-Ireland, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand and Africa. These are led by one or several regional leaders appointed by each region.​

ROLES OF CDIO
