INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING
AND PROBLEM SOLVING
1.1 CDIO…?
Conceive--Design--Implement—Operate
What is Engineering?
Engineers - professional problem solvers.
Use math and science along with skills in communications, critical
thinking, and management to find practical solutions that will
benefit people or society.
They DO things: design, create, build, improve, invent -- everything
from heart valves and microchips to skyscrapers and space vehicles.
Engineers should have these desirable characteristics:
1. Utilize mathematics and science to obtain practical workable solution
2. Think through problem solving in logical manner
3. Knack to organize and carry through problem solving to conclusion
4. Possess curiosity how thing s work
5. Thinker and self-learner
6. Good articulationand communicative skill
7. Good interpersonal and team work skill
8. Adaptive to change

Requirements and desirable characteristics
There are several desirable characteristics of a person before he or she
embarks on engineering study such as:
1. Have a strong interest in and an ability to work with mathematics and
physical sciences since the knowledge is applied vigorously in design and
development of devices, structures, and processes.
2. Appreciate the THINKING process involved to obtain the solution of a
problem and able to think in a logical manner.
3. Have a keen mind and unusual curiosity of how and why things work.
4. Willing to take on any challenges and difficulties.
5. Able to adapt to changes quickly and be proactive.
6. Other desirable qualities.
