An introductory project parallel with basic studies of mathematics, physics and electronics have been run on the second half of fall semester of electrical engineering degree programme. The learning outcomes are set to emphasize soft skill such as project management, team working, basic finance, time lining, marketing, and communications skills. Additionally to those skills, CDIO ideas including the importance of engineering ethics and responsibility of the sustainable development are highlighted.That project is using LEGO ® Mindstorm robots as experiment tools. In the beginning the students are conceiving the challenges - how can they make customers happy with the available things. Secondly they design and plan the products both the construction and functionality, including programming. Finally the students operate the robot until it is cut into parts again and the box of materials returned. The first year project has been developed and fine tuned by the same teachers over several years. However, the fall 2017 change of teacher for a part of groups was evident, and therefore an interesting question arose: how well the the successor likes to follow the design and concept, or does the new teacher recreate the course again? In this paper we are presenting a case study on transferring a pedagogical concept when the teacher changes.
