+ Tooling CDIO with Mathemaitca Drafted by Ben Koo

+ CDIO Offers It engages students in the context of Conceiving — Designing — Implementing — Operating real-world systems and products It is a collaborative educational model that involves academicians, and the industries to co-develop new curriculums and technologies. Invite leading industries to help shape the syllabus and enhance students’ engineering capabilities. MIT, Tsinghua University, and UNESCO’s office on Industry and Academic Collaboration (hosted at Beijing Jiaotong University) are members of the CDIO community and leaders in their respective regions. 2 Toy House

+ What is Mathematica A world-leading computing platform that is useful throughout the complete engineering life cycles of new products and systems. Mathematica is: The world’s largest collection of technical computing algorithms The most well-integrated multi-media interactive environment The key player in connecting mathematical education with technical computation Toy House 3

+ Why Mathematica in CDIO Develop a deeper knowledge about advanced computational tools and theories. Enable students create new technologies at a much higher rate with less engineering effort. Enable students to use a Multi-paradigm programming language to reason about the creation and integration of new products, processes, and systems. 4 Toy House

+ Proposal to Wolfram Research A Mathematica-CDIO research lab Creating CDIO-driven course material and syllabus using Mathematica Developing complex design-build projects using Mathematica Complexity in terms of hybrid computation Symbolic mixed with Numerical computation Computational complexity Large data sets and large scale computing clusters Co-authoring Mathematica-based CDIO pedagogical material and online-resources (CDIO-Mathematica Web Sites) Web-seminar Interactive Mathematica Notebooks and Web Pages Toy House 5

+ Participants Wolfram Research Provide online resources Preferably a website for speedy download and demos in China 3 academic institutions MIT’s Aero/Astro Department, Cambridge, USA THU’s IE Department, Beijing, China UNESCO’s Chaired Professor on Academic and Indusrty Collaboration (located at Beijing Jiaotong University) Toy House 6

+ Mathematica Resource Required 3 years of Mathematica educational software license Annual Campus visits, and sponsorship of one major Mathematica-related local event per year,. 5-Machine Grid Mathematica license per school Support each school with licenses that can run on a few large computing clusters. Help create and install demos that shows the power of Grid Mathematica 20 Wolfram Media published books for each of the three participating academic institutions Toy House 7

+ Bundling Mathematica with CDIO Wolfram Research would get Immerse future engineers in the computational universe of Mathematica during their college years. Broaden the Education and Industry markets at the same time. Systematically engage Wolfram’s Developers with engineering students and engineering minded customers, so that it may become the standard technical language for engineers. 8 Toy House

+ Our Future Avail more students and professors to work and think with the most advanced computing tools, Mathematica, Result: Attain a higher level of intellectual productivity Wolfram Research would expose its products and services to a much broader categories of engineering schools. The global reach of the CDIO initiative and the connections with the Top Chinese Universities will present a large number of marketing opportunities to Wolfram. 9 Toy House
