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.
