Learning outcomes
Design
The starting professional considers various solutions in order to arrive at a detailed and well-founded (electro)technical product/service/process based on the program of requirements, using appropriate design methods and taking social interests and engineering standards into account.
Definition
The starting professional uniformly maps out a problem or customer need, places it in the right context, consults relevant sources and converts this into an objective, problem definition and electrotechnical requirements.
