Learning outcomes
Defining
The student clearly identifies a problem or customer need, contextualizes it, consults relevant sources, and converts it into a goal, problem statement, and electrical engineering requirements.
Designing
The student considers various solution directions to arrive at a detailed and well-founded electrical engineered product/service/process based on the program of requirements, using appropriate design methodologies and taking into account societal interests and engineering standards.
Professionalizing
The student is able to acquire and maintain skills, is self-directed, constructive in giving and receiving feedback, shows flexibility, and can communicate clearly.
