An Innovative Practice Study on TOPCARES-CDIO Based Talent Nurturing Framework for E-Commerce Courses

Abstract:

The innovative CDIO educational framework provides students with an education stressing engineering fundamentals set in the context of Conceiving - Designing Implementing - Operating real-world systems and products. The acronym of TOPCARES refers to 8 first-level ability indices which comply with those in CDIO. A total of four ability indices levels was refined in TOPCARES-CDIO structure to guide this study, which discussed the feasibility an innovative talent nurturing framework for e-commerce courses. The result suggests the application-oriented integrated educational system to satisfy the social requirements for versatile and practical talents, and can be used as a reference model for relevant educational institutions.
