• analyse the need of scientific information, carry out information retrieval, evaluate the received information and identify his need for additional knowledge
• critically discuss phenomena, issues and situations within the subject area "Product realization and industrial engineering", considering relevant scientific, social, ethical and sustainability aspects
• illustrate and describe how technology, economics and leadership issues interact in for a given problem
• plan and carry out assignments within given time frames, with relevant methods
• orally and in writing account for and discuss information, problems and solutions, in dialogue with different groups:
  - present the work in a scientific report that fulfills the given requirements on contents, structure and language
  - in the report, refer to sources, figures, tables and formulae, in an established way
  - write a summary of the report in English with correct use of the terminology of the subject
  - carry out oral presentations with requirements on keeping to time limits, clear contents, language, delivery and illustrations
  - review and comment on another degree project work and be able to respond to criticism on ones own work
