Competence field 1: Competency in one or more scientific disciplines
- Possess advanced, theoretically profound, knowledge of the own engineering discipline and the ability to apply this knowledge in a creative and critical way to new, complex problems.
- Be able to design innovative products or processes using appropriate or autonomously developed and validated models and techniques, using recent digital technologies.
- Demonstrate integrative and system-oriented problem-solving thinking under uncertain and conflicting conditions, with attention for the correct level of abstraction.
- Be able to formulate a research question from a complex scientific problem, after in-depth study of relevant and state-of-the-art scientific literature.
- Be able to critically interpret and communicate one's own results in English to both experts and laypersons and defend decisions made.
- Be able to position oneself in, and function within an international team, with an understanding of effective leadership and an awareness of cultural sensitivity.
- Demonstrate a lifelong learning attitude to keep up with the advancements and developments in scientific research in one’s own discipline and continue to develop one's competencies.
- Act according to the principles of research integrity, professional deontology and ethics.
- Demonstrate sustainability thinking, entrepreneurial skills, and pay attention to the role of science, technology and innovation in addressing societal issues from various perspectives, and in an international context.
- Critically reflect on one's own thinking and actions, and act according to the limitations of one's competencies in a conscientious and responsible manner.
- Have a thorough knowledge of Operations Research models and methods and apply this knowledge in developing optimisation and simulation models for the design and performance improvement of complex operational systems in mobility and supply chains, taking into account uncertainty, incomplete data, and the inaccuracy of modelling assumptions.
- Continuously and critically analyse and optimise the different stages in creating and delivering a product or service, in order to improve the efficiency of operational processes.
- Reflect critically on the practical relevance and feasibility of design and improvement proposals by considering economic and financial conditions, the role of human factors and technological developments, and the implications on other actors in the business ecosystem as well as the broader society and environment.
- Have a thorough knowledge of time study and methods engineering, quality engineering, manufacturing and supply chain planning and control.
- Creatively apply Industrial Engineering techniques to analyse, optimize and (re)design manufacturing and supply chain systems.
- Have a thorough knowledge of traffic flow models, spatiotemporal data processing, routing algorithms and transport and mobility systems.
- Creatively apply Industrial Engineering techniques to analyse, optimize and (re)design systems and services in transport, traffic, and urban mobility.
