IKP-CDIO: exploration and practice on teaching framework of embedding ideological education into engineering curriculum

Abstract

The concept of “embedding ideological education into curriculum”, briefly called “curriculum ideology”, can be regarded as a new kind of “holistic education” concept. Implementing curriculum ideology in the teaching of engineering courses can simultaneously cultivate the academic and non-academic abilities of engineering college students. At present, such teaching practices are in the exploratory stage, and effective teaching modes and cases are still desired to support embedding ideological education into engineering curriculum. To alleviate the above problem, a new engineering teaching framework called IKP-CDIO is proposed, and a teaching case under the framework and the teaching effects are detailed with a computer major course named "Software Testing".
