Standards 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and syllabus v2.0 of the CDIO framework were used in the development of the integrated curricula. Graduate attributes were developed, and the result of the industry needs survey served as one of the bases in the integration of various skill sets in the integrated curricula for the master of engineering programs.
