C. Roca, S. Klose, M. Orellana, J. Dunn (2013).  The CDIO Framework in University Design: UCEN Project, Guatemala. 16.

 

Describes the conception and design of a new university motivated by socioeconomic conditions and their impact on higher education in Guatemala. How the proposal for this innovative paradigm incorporates CDIO standards and active, participatory learning practices is significant. Included are the principal features of the UCEN Education Model: learning outcomes based curriculum, faculty development, supportive learning environment, and relationship with society. The paper presents the plans for curriculum structure, inspiring first year program, active learning methodologies, student support services, university social responsibility, and program evaluation. There is a brief presentation of the financial and management model of UCEN before the conclusions. Most significant is how the proposal for this innovative paradigm is motivated by socioeconomic conditions and their impact on higher education in Guatemala.
