    • Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities, with an understanding of the limitations.
    • The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal, and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice.
    • Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts and demonstrate knowledge of, and the need for, sustainable development.
    • Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities, adhering to the norms of engineering practice.
    • Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multidisciplinary settings.
    • Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and society at large. This includes being able to comprehend and write effective reports, design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
    • Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member or leader in a team, to manage projects and work in multidisciplinary environments.
    • Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
