CDIO2022
18th CDIO International Conference
Reykjavik University in Iceland is honoured to welcome you to the 18th CDIO International Conference, which was held June 13-15, 2022. The central theme of the 18th International Conference was “Surviving and Thriving”.
The CDIO approach (www.cdio.org) is an innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers. It is a framework for providing students with an education stressing engineering fundamentals set in the context of Conceiving — Designing — Implementing — Operating (CDIO) real‐world systems and products.
CDIO collaborators recognise that engineering education is acquired through programs of varying lengths and stages in various institutions and that educators in all parts of this spectrum can learn from practice elsewhere. Each year, CDIO collaborating institutions, engineering educators and researchers gather to exchange ideas and experiences, review developments, and assess and refine the CDIO approach.
The Venue
The conference will be hosted at Reykjavík University, located at Menntavegur 1, Reykjavik 102, Iceland. This location has easy public transportation, and the Icelandair Natura hotel is just 5 minutes walk away. Two restaurants are also a very short walk from the RU lobby. Reykjavík University is located next to Öskjuhlíð Hill, one of Reykjavík's green areas shaped by the Ice Age. Wooded walks are ideal for taking in the scenery around the university building. There is just a 2-minute stroll to the famous Nautholsvik geothermal bay with outdoor hot tubs and a steam room. More information about https://nautholsvik.is/en/
Transport
The environment in Nauthólsvík is well-suited for outdoor activities, and we encourage you to take advantage of it.
The city centre is within easy reach; just a few minutes away by car, bus, scooter or approximately a 20-minute walk.

Keynote Speakers
Carl Wieman, Professor of Physics and Education at Stanford University
Carl Wieman is a Professor of Physics and Education at Stanford University. Wieman has been widely recognized for his experimental research in both physics (Nobel Prize 2001) and university science and engineering education (Carnegie University Professor of the Year 2004, Yidan International Prize for Education Research 2020). He founded PhET, which provides interactive simulations that are used nearly a million times a day to learn science, and he has published a book, “Improving how universities teach science” He is studying problem-solving expertise in science and engineering and how this can be better measured and taught.
Taking a Scientific Approach to Science Education
Guided by experimental tests of theory and practice, science and engineering have advanced rapidly in the past 500 years. Guided primarily by tradition and dogma, education in these subjects has remained largely medieval. Recent research on how people learn, combined with careful experiments in university classrooms, is now revealing much more effective ways to teach and evaluate learning than is currently used in most classes. I will discuss these results and what they tell us about principles of learning and their effective implementation in science courses. This research is setting the stage for a new approach to teaching that can provide the relevant and effective science education for all students that is needed for the 21st century. It also shows better ways to evaluate teaching quality.
Halla Hrund Logadóttir, Director General of the National Energy Authority in Iceland
Halla Hrund is a former director of the Iceland School of Energy at Reykjavík University. She has a BA degree in political science, a master's degree in international cooperation with an emphasis on economics and energy and a master's degree in public administration from Harvard University with an emphasis on environmental and energy issues.
Halla Hrund has worked since 2017 as a co-founder and CEO of the Arctic Initiative at Harvard University, which focuses on e.g. the impact of climate change, and also teaches at the master's level at the same institution. Since 2019, she has co-directed the mapping of changes in the Arctic, e.g. Energy, at the World Economic Forum. Halla Hrund has since 2015 worked as the founder and chairman of the Arctic Innovation Lab and worked as a mentor in various energy-related innovation accelerators.

Working Groups
General
Working groups are formed by participants with a common interest in a topic related to the subject matter of the conference. The groups of five to ten participants work together electronically before the start of the conference. Working groups convene on Sunday, June 12th, and the exact time will be shown in the Conference Program. Working groups are encouraged to continue their work throughout the conference, which runs from Monday to Wednesday when they find it possible. The working groups start working digitally together at least two months prior to the conference.
Every working group member must register for and be present at the conference in order to be part of the working group and considered a contributor to the final report.
Participants present their preliminary results to conference attendees at a special working group presentation session and submit a state-of-the-art paper after the conference concludes.
The three Working Groups at the conference are:
Self-Assessment Rubric of the Curriculum Agility Principles
CDIO Peer-to-Peer Support
Designing the Format for the CDIO International Fall Meeting
Applying to join
If you would like to participate in one of the working groups you should fill out the application form and email it to one of the leaders of the working group. They will evaluate the application and contact you. The leaders and the application forms are listed under the respective links above, as well as detailed outlines of the objectives. For information and application forms to join the working groups, please click on the corresponding links above.
When applying, you assure the conference organisers of your intention to register for and attend CDIO2022 and the working group leader to take an active part in the working group before, under and after the CDIO 2022 conference.
Publication
All working group state-of-the-art papers will be submitted shortly after the conference is over and submitted for peer review. If accepted for publication as a result of the peer review, they will be added to the proceedings of the conference.
Authors
The main theme of the 18th International Conference is “Surviving and Thriving”. The CDIO Initiative welcomes diverse ideas and invites people to submit proposals for papers and presentations, as well as participate in the conference.
List of contributions and authors (as of June 8th, 2022)
Here you can check your presentation format, track etc.
Because of travel restrictions due to Covid in some countries, registered participants may in these exceptional circumstances have the option to present their paper online in a special online session, and also listen to the keynote sessions online. If you are unable to travel and need to use this option, please contact cdio2022 (AT) ru.is. Details of this arrangement are still in preparation.
Presentation Formats
At the 18th CDIO conference we have two types of presentation formats for papers:
Podium Presentations: These presentations will follow a traditional conference format of multiple, parallel tracks with short presentations followed by Q&A. Due to the nature of scheduling parallel tracks, potential conflicts with other sessions will likely have an effect on the size of the audience. In the list of papers, this is called "podium".
Podium Poster Presentations: These presentations start with a short one-minute podium "teaser" in front of the entire conference audience. Following the teaser session, posters provided by authors will be on display in a central area where authors can discuss the work with interested attendees. This session will be scheduled with no conflicts. Poster presentations will be scheduled early in the conference to facilitate further interaction. In the list of papers, this is called "poster".
