The Relation Between Course Learning Competencies and Program Qualifications

# Program Qualifications / Competencies Level of Contribution
1 2 3 4 5
1 Possesses sufficient knowledge in mathematics, natural sciences, and discipline-specific topics in Electrical and Electronics Engineering; uses this theoretical and practical knowledge to solve complex engineering problems. X
2 Identifies, defines, formulates, and solves complex engineering problems; selects and applies appropriate analytical and modeling methods for this purpose. X
3 Designs complex systems, processes, devices, or products under realistic constraints and conditions to meet specific requirements; applies modern design methods for this purpose. (Realistic constraints and conditions may include factors such as economy, environmental issues, sustainability, manufacturability, ethics, health, safety, social and political issues, depending on the nature of the design.)
4 Selects and uses modern techniques and tools necessary for the analysis and solution of complex problems encountered in engineering applications; effectively uses information technologies. X
5 Designs experiments, conducts tests, collects data, analyzes, and interprets results to investigate complex engineering problems or discipline-specific research topics. X
6 Works effectively in disciplinary and interdisciplinary teams; develops the ability to work independently.
7 Communicates effectively in both written and verbal forms; possesses proficiency in at least one foreign language; writes effective reports, understands written reports, prepares design and production reports, delivers effective presentations, and gives and receives clear instructions.
8 Recognizes the need for lifelong learning; accesses information, follows developments in science and technology, and continuously renews oneself.
9 Acts in accordance with ethical principles, assumes professional and ethical responsibility, and possesses knowledge about the standards used in engineering practices.
10 Possesses knowledge about professional practices such as project management, risk management, and change management; gains awareness of entrepreneurship and innovation; understands the principles of sustainable development.
11 Understands the universal and societal impacts of engineering practices on health, environment, and safety; recognizes the contemporary issues reflected in the field of engineering and understands the legal implications of engineering solutions.
