The CDIO approach to engineering programmes modernization provides the innovative framework for producing the new generation of engineers. Implementation of the CDIO approach in practice requires significant changes in programme development, realization and assessment. To design and implement new programmes the university faculty have to improve their competences in curriculum development in compliance with the CDIO Syllabus, in integrated learning experiences, in active and experiential learning, and assessing student learning. The paper presents the experience of Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) in engineering programmes modernization in accordance with the CDIO framework. The focus of the paper is the continuous professional development programme (CPD) on implementation of the CDIO approach in engineering education. This CPD programme was developed to enhance competences of the university faculty who are in process of modernization of educational programmes according to the CDIO Standards.
