Objectives of general skills

• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• Understand the stages of an engineering approach
• Identify and describe the problem to be solved and the functional need (of the project owner) to be met considering the state of technology
• Design, evaluate and optimise solutions addressing the problem
• Identify and acquire the information and skills needed to solve the problem
• Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in arts, science, engineering and construction to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Identify, describe and explain the basic principles of engineering sciences and construction
