2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors | c. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability |
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences | g. an ability to communicate effectively; |
4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts | f. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility h. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in global and societal context j. knowledge of contemporary issues |
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives | d. an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams |
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions | b. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data |
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies | i. an ability to recognize the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long learning; |
Implied in 1, 2, and 6 | k. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice |
