Program Outcomes
1) Knowledge of mathematics, science, basic engineering, computational engineering, and subjects specific to the engineering discipline; the ability to use this knowledge in solving complex engineering problems.
2) Ability to identify, formulate and analyze complex engineering problems using fundamental knowledge of science, mathematics, and engineering, while considering UN Sustainable Development Goals.
3) Ability to design creative solutions to complex engineering problems; the skill to design complex systems, processes, devices, or products considering realistic constraints and conditions.
4) Ability to select and use appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modeling, for analyzing and solving complex engineering problems.
5) Ability to use research methods to investigate complex engineering problems, including literature research, experimental design, experimentation, data collection, analysis and interpretation.
6) Ability to work effectively individually and as a member or leader in intra‑disciplinary and multi‑disciplinary teams (face‑to‑face, remote, or hybrid).
7) Ability to communicate effectively on technical topics verbally and in writing, considering various differences (education, language, profession) of the target audience.
8) Lifelong learning ability, encompassing the capacity to learn independently and continuously, to adapt to new and emerging technologies, and to think critically about technological changes.
9) Acting according to engineering professional principles; knowledge of ethical responsibility and awareness of inclusive and non‑discriminatory behavior.
10) Knowledge about business practices such as project management and economic feasibility analysis; awareness of entrepreneurship and innovation.
11) Knowledge about the impacts of engineering practices on society, health and safety, economy, sustainability and environment, while considering UN Sustainable Development Goals; awareness of legal implications of engineering solutions.
