Learning outcomes

Competence field 1: Competency in one or more scientific disciplines

Have a broad knowledge of mathematics, basic sciences, and basic engineering sciences, and apply this knowledge in a creative, critical, and target-oriented manner, also on realistic problems.
Be able to study and schematize processes and systems using generally-known models, particularly in a real-life context, and conducting fitting experiments.
Demonstrate technical curiosity, precision, autonomy, and application-oriented problem-solving thinking.
Be able to efficiently and critically handle digital technologies to consult, process, and visualize information, as well as utilize these technologiesfor problem-solving.
Demonstrate effective verbal, written, and graphical communication using appropriate Dutch and English discipline-specific terminology.
Demonstrate cooperative teamwork for the realization of projects in a systematic manner, with attention to technical implementation 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 technology, industry, 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.
Possess the ability to handle and reflect on feedback, and translate it into adjustments of one’s own learning process and actions.
