Applying CDIO Through Guided Independent Learning in a Chemistry Programme

This paper shows how the CDIO standard 8 ‘active and experiential learning’ is implemented in a non-engineering study programme of Bachelor in Chemistry. Next to a general description of the all-embracing concept ‘guided independent learning’ at the Faculty of Technology, a good practice in the course of microbiology is presented. This paper is intended to inspire those seeking for implementing guided independent learning as a concretization of standard 8 in other disciplines.
