| Summary: | ABSTRACT Cooperation and communication with stakeholders is important for engineering educators as is emphasized in the CDIO standards. The School of Science and Engineering at Reykjavik University is implementing the CDIO standards and when reviewing and revising learning outcomes, i.e. CDIO standards 2 and 3, it was decided to contact stakeholders and obtain their views and recommendations regarding priorities in the program content. This work is on-going and will be carried out until the fall of 2014. This paper will discuss the methodology used by the four different departments at the School of Science and Engineering at Reykjavik University: Biomedical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Engineering Management and Financial Engineering, and Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. Although all the departments used interviews to some extent, they used different approaches and some also used focus groups and surveys. The experience of each department will be presented and discussed. This paper compares the different procedures used by the four departments in selecting and approaching stakeholders and extracting their views. Conclusions are drawn with regard to future methods for involving stakeholders in developing and validating learning outcomes for engineering programs at Reykjavík University. |
