WL2	Comprehensive CDIO Implementation Program (18-day, hybrid)	This is a comprehensive 18-day full suite of professional development program in CDIO, which can be spread over 1 year. All the CDIO standards are inter-related, and the sequence proposed herein is based on SP’s experience in CDIO implementation that worked well for SP. It is henceforth recommended that participants complete the entire suite of workshops, with intervals between the different components to allow time for participants to apply methods learnt in earlier components. These workshops can be conducted in a hybrid format. It is also recommended that the time frame for completing all components A to G be limited to not more than 14 months. These workshops can also be conducted fully on-site at your institution (or other designated venue in the host country) for which the duration to complete the whole suite is less than 1 year, e.g. by combining several components into 3 to 4 training “blocks”, with each block consisting of several components.
