Update of training activities under CDIO standard and methodology would lead to increase number of programs to be accredited in Mongolia and at international level and provide opportunities to prepare well-educated professionals who meet market demands.
Within the scope of improving training quality and prepare engineers, MUST intends to implement national program ‘Outcome based Education’ which included in Government Action Plan, to broaden works to introduce CDIO in engineering and technological higher education and to cooperate with CDIO universities and colleges in Asia region and to commence work to get permission and support from Temasek Foundation to realize the next stage program ‘Advancing CDIO’.
