Learning outcomes

Competence field 1: Competency in one or more scientific disciplines

Have a profound knowledge of mathematics, basic sciences, and basic engineering sciences, and apply this knowledge in a creative, critical, and target-oriented manner, also in an abstract context
Be able to model, schematize and abstract processes and systems.
Demonstrate scientific curiosity, precision, autonomy, and conceptual and analytical problem-solving thinking.
Be able to efficiently and critically select and handle digital technologies to consult, process, and visualize information, as well as utilize these technologies in modelling and problem-solving.
Demonstrate effective verbal, written, and graphical communication using appropriate Dutch and English scientific terminology.
Demonstrate cooperative teamwork for the realization of projects in a systematic manner, with attention to scientific soundness and considering multiple perspectives.
Comprehend contemporary societal challenges on a local and global scale considering various perspectives, in particular sustainability transitions, and demonstrate the ability to reflect on the role of science, technology, and engineers in addressing these challenges.
Understand the importance of research integrity and translate it into one's own actions.
Have knowledge of (international) business operations and economics, including aspects of quality, safety, sustainability and ethics.
