The 2014 Asian Regional Meeting of the CDIO Initiative promotingengineering education reform with innovative and global perspectives
will be held in Japan for the first time.
Engineering education in higher education institutions is facing a major paradigm shift all over
the world. To produce engineers who can create innovations with ingenuity, what sort ofengineering education programs are needed? How might we cultivate engineers who cansucceed on a global scale, while fostering collaboration with local communities? The CDIO
Initiative is a framework for engineering education reform that the Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology founded along with three Swedish universities in 2000. It has since expanded
rapidly beyond the US and Europe as more than 100 leading universities and colleges invarious regions of the world have joined the Initiative.

●CDIO Asian Regional Meeting 2014
Kanazawa Institute of Technology (KIT) will host the 2014 CDIO Asian Regional Meeting incooperation with Kanazawa Technical College (KTC). Countries with remarkable and rapid
economic growth, such as Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and China, have been quick torecognize the importance of the education that the CDIO Initiative promotes, and higher
education institutions in those countries have joined the CDIO Initiative partners in the US
and Europe to bring about sustainable innovation in engineering education. With the aim tocreate engineering education which enables innovation in the next generation, it is expectedthat the Meeting can provide a platform for lively discussions on education reform among
engineering educators and staff members from institutions of higher education, engineersfrom industry with invested interest in education, and others from Japan as well as the rest ofAsia. Please join us!

●The Vision of the CDIO Initiative
The CDIO framework aims to provide an integrated curriculum focused on the actual practiceof engineering through the “Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate” process of real-world
products and systems development.
By offering such an education, the Initiative aims to educate the next generation of engineers
who can:
1. master engineering fundamentals;
2. lead the design, development, and operation of new products and systems;
3. understand the strategic impact and importance of technological development andresearch in the real world.
