1Investigate engineering problems to reach evidence-based conclusions, drawing upon one or more sources of information and data interpretation skills including data gathering, data cleaning, regression, and statistics.

2Plan and implement systematic design processes using formal project management and design tools such as work breakdown structures, time lines, functional block diagrams, and engineering specifications to efficiently design innovative products and systems.

3Investigate and decompose complex systems into functional components to explain, predict and/or control the behaviors of the system.

4Develop, test and refine devices and systems to achieve multiple technical requirements and present quantitative evidence that prove achievement of these specifications.

5Display ability to apply mathematical and scientific knowledge and methods to model and analyze systems.

6Apply fundamental engineering skills and knowledge involving estimation, spatial reasoning, graphical representation, units, dimensions, significant digits, and the problem presentation method associated with successful solutions to engineering challenges.

7Work in teams consisting of diverse members to carry out complex engineering tasks. This collaborative work needs team members to be accountable to one another and learn interdependently as they manage their team process.

8Demonstrate professional communications skills in the areas of technical writing, oral presentations, and interpersonal communication to produce evidence-based engineering reports. These reports will convey engineering findings and evidence using written, verbal, and graphical methods to effectively support the audience’s comprehension of the major message.

9Generate programming-language-independent system charts and flow diagrams embodying those algorithms for data processing, knowledge generation and system modeling.

10Translate algorithms into computational models using basic programming constructs, such as, data structures, conditionals, repetition structures, function and file input/output.

11Use multiple programming environments to implement algorithms using basic programming constructs of several languages (e.g. Python, MATLAB (and Excel)) and coding best practices such that the resulting code is effective, well-documented, and error free.

12Discuss the engineering education course sequence and options at Purdue, explain and compare engineering job functions and roles, and use this information to prepare a first draft of a personal course of study for academic and career success.

13Employ academic and career success strategies including managing your personal learning approach, using time management techniques, and seeking opportunities for self improvement to thoughtfully pursue course activities and the course.

14Consider and apply engineering ethics, including social, safety, and sustainability issues into instances of engineering thinking and engineering problem solving.
