PI-1.3 Show solution procedure (or solving methods)
PI-1.4 Interpret and/or verify the solution to an engineering problem
SO2: An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. PI-2.1 Formulate the problem (“need”) and analyze constraints
PI-2.2 Establish fitness criteria for evaluating solutions and tradeoffs
PI-2.3 Generate alternative solutions or perform sensitivity analysis
PI-2.4 Build a solution and analyze performance
SO3: An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. PI-3.1 Organize the material

PI-3.3 Provide data to support claims or inform the audience
PI-3.4 Demonstrate proper use of writing
PI-3.5 Deliver an oral presentation
SO4: An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts. PI-4.1 Identify the global, economic, environmental, and societal context
PI-4.2 Describe ethical and professional responsibilities
PI-4.3 Explain the impact of engineering decisions in context
SO5: An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives. PI-5.1 Establish a collaborative and inclusive environment (Teamwork)
PI-5.2 Fulfill individual responsibilities and contribute to team success
PI-5.3 Define goals, plan tasks, and manage the project
SO6: An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions. PI-6.1 Design an experiment plan and identify key factors and response
PI-6.2 Acquire data on appropriate variables
PI-6.3 Interpret experimental data with theoretical models
PI-6.4 Validate the model and explain discrepancies; draw conclusions
SO7: An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies. PI-7.1 Identify techniques, skills, and tools for new situations
PI-7.2 Explain use of new techniques, skills, and tools
PI-7.3 Apply the new knowledge to solve problems
