Abstract :
This paper presented an initial experience in implanting a full CDIO (Conceive - Design - Implement - Operate) procedure in a mechatronics course. Students learnt and completed product development projects with the university community as users. The course was highly successful with the net promoter score of 81% from students while the lecturers were very pleased. The design thinking modules could be easily added to the beginning and the end of a traditional course with high effectiveness. The key to success was to have an expert in implementing the design thinking to walk the class and lecturers alike through the process.
