What is Framework for an Integrated Learning Block with CDIO-led Engineering Education about?

As a CDIO collaborating member, the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of Sheridan maintains a curriculum that is deeply rooted in skills-based learning, experiential learning, and engineering design. To ensure our graduates are agile and ready for the workforce, we are taking proactive measures to further improve their learning experiences. An important challenge still impeding our students knowledge acquisition is the perception that program courses have disjointed learning outcomes. The course map of programs is carefully designed in such a way that technical skills acquired in particular courses gradually build on each other. Despite the traditional existence of prerequisites and co-requisites, the inaccurate view that courses function independently persists among students and, occasionally, among faculty members. One feasible approach to tackle this pedagogical challenge is to combine various courses into an integrated learning block (ILB) having a unified mission and objective. At Sheridan's School of MEET, we are applying an ILB with three engineering courses offered within the same semester for all our B.Eng. degree programs. The ILB deliverables are based on t
