Abstract:
A test on students and teachers between CDIO engineering experimental class and normal class in the
same grade was adopted through 16 PF(Personality Factor) Test and CDIO Comprehensive Capacity Evaluation
Questionnaire(including teachersâ€™ edition and studentsâ€™ edition). The results showed as follows, students in experimental
class exceed remarkably in normal class in gregariousness, stability, excitatory, Daring, experimental, introversion and
extraversion, psychological health personality factor, and personality factor of professional achievements; no significant
difference was found in self-evaluation in four dimensions against personal abilities and attitude, professional abilities,
professional morality, team cooperation and communication between students in experimental class and students in normal
class, but students in experimental class is significantly higher in class evaluation. The research results indicated the
implementation of CDIO engineering education mode exerts positive influence on the shaping and development of studentsâ€™
personality traits.
