The article is dedicated to the topical problem of finding and evaluating new approaches to the design of engineering programs. It presents the analysis of the requirements for the design of those programs presented in 12 CDIO standards. CDIO is an effective approach to the modernization of such programs and it has already proven its efficiency both in our country and abroad. The use of the life cycle of the engineering process as a context of engineering education being the fundamental principle of this approach contributes to the preparation of graduates who are able to apply the obtained theoretical knowledge in their practical engineering activities and manage the process of creating and operating engineering objects, processes, and systems. The analysis of the requirements of the CDIO standards showed that the features of the CDIO educational program that contribute to its effectiveness include an integrated curriculum; integration of the planned learning outcomes into the disciplines of the program; compulsory introductory course and projects of a design and implementation nature; availability of a workspace for students to gain practical experience in engineering at all stages; the use of active learning methods; special training of teachers; assessment used to support, diagnose and improve the quality of learning; compulsory internal or external audit of the educational program.
