i. Adequate knowledge in mathematics, science and engineering subjects
pertaining to the relevant discipline; ability to use theoretical and applied
information in these areas to model and solve engineering problems.
ii. Ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems;
ability to select and apply proper analysis and modeling methods for this
purpose.
iii. Ability to design a complex system, process, device or product under
realistic constraints and conditions, in such a way as to meet the desired
result; ability to apply modern design methods for this purpose. (Realistic
constraints and conditions may include factors such as economic and
environmental issues, sustainability, manufacturability, ethics, health, safety
issues, and social and political issues, according to the nature of the design.)
