Inducing changes in the management of education can be challenging, especially in the field of engineering. In the School of Engineering in Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) being a member of the International Society for Engineering Pedagogy (IGIP) and CDIO, the Centre for Learning Excellence was established recently to provide academic staff with more support in teaching and learning development. In the last decade, the IGIP curriculum for engineering educators has been available for all teaching staff. Therefore, in this paper, it is evaluated how the newly updated IGIP curriculum covers basic pedagogical knowledge used in the CDIO framework. A survey was conducted for teachers of the Product Development and Robotics programme, to evaluate the current state before starting to implement CDIO principles. One teacher from the programme shared his vision of support needed from a teacher who is planning to implement CDIO. The aim of this paper is to analyse what is the current situation in teacher training in TalTech and what kind of specific support is needed by the teachers who start implementing the CDIO framework in their courses. Three different analysis methods pointed out various aspects that should be considered in planning how to support teachers in the process of implementing CDIO.
