www.kth.se GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF ENGINEERING EDUCATION Professional Education – not preparing well enough for the ”swamp” of complexities in real-life?

“The schools view teaching as transfer of information; learning as receiving, storing and digesting information. ‘Knowing that’ tends to take priority over ‘knowing how’.”

Schön, Donald A. "Educating the reflective practitioner." San Francisco (1987). P.309. A disaster nurse on the expectations of an engineer: on the ”swamp” of complexities in real-life ”Creating relationships and building teams, making decisions based on so much input you can get and telling them right, talking to authorities and media … well, caring about the whole situation” Modernization of Higher Education Teaching and Learning in Theory

At KTH, a crucial engine and focus has been the CDIO framework
