CDIO International Conference

The CDIO 2008 International Conference will be held in Gent, Belgium.

On June 16, Granta will be teaming up with MATTER and running a joint workshop on scenario-based teaching. In this workshop, participants will use CES EduPack to identify and investigate materials and processes that are suitable for a range of different applications.

Many CDIO members are users of Granta's CES EduPack teaching resource for materials in engineering, science, processing and design. EduPack helps to make the connection between real-world design challenges and underlying principles in materials science and engineering.
