With the challenges relating to the university, the impacts, from the strongest down, are the lack of workspace to practice, the large-scale class, unclear assessment instructions, and unclear syllabi for practising engineering skills. On the lecturers’ part, four challenges are, from the strongest down, the lack of seminars for lecturers to deeply study the new academic program, few interactions in the lecturer community, lecturer’s constancies of the traditional teaching methods, and lecturers' having no information concerning the CDIO philosophy.
