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.
