- EC
| EC 3. The graduate of the Master of Materiomics programme has insight in how modelling or synthesis methods predict and affect functional properties and is able to design sustainable materials based on in-operando functionality making optimal use of the synergy between computational and experimental methods. | | | - DC
| DC3.3 The student understands how a synthesis affects the properties of a material. | | | - DC
| DC3.6 The student is able to justify the choice of a synthesis method in view of a particular property and/or structure of a material. | - EC
| EC 4. The graduate of the Master of Materiomics programme is able to autonomously consult, summarise and critically interpret international scientific literature, reference it correctly and use it to explore and identify new domains relevant to the field. | | | - DC
| DC4.4 The student is able to use relevant scientific literature to solve materials-related problems and/or to identify and explore new areas relevant to the field. | - EC
| EC 6. The graduate of the Master of Materiomics programme is able to communicate in both written and spoken form and to take a well-argued position in a scientific discussion, going from a general to a specialist level, adapted to the target audience. | | | - DC
| DC6.1 The student is able to report orally and in writing in an adequate manner. | | | - DC
| DC6.3 The student is able to take and defend a logically constructed position, based on relevant and scientifically supported arguments. | - EC
| EC 8. The graduate of the Master of Materiomics programme is able to act with integrity and independently judge ethical and societal implications of scientific developments in one’s domain with particular attention to sustainability. | | | - DC
| DC8.3 The student considers sustainability issues when creating a new material, device, or process. | - EC
| EC 10. The graduate of the Master of Materiomics programme is able to autonomously acquire new knowledge and monitor, evaluate and adjust one’s learning process. | | | - DC
| DC10.3 The student is able to autonomously acquire, process, and critically interpret new information. |
