- EC
| 5.2 The Educational Master in Science and Technology as a domain expert: the Educational Master has specialised knowledge of and insight into subject didactics and is able to creatively design, plan, and implement these within an educational context, particularly as part of a methodologically structured and project-based sequence within a multidisciplinary STEM project with a strong research and/or innovation component. | - EC
| 5.3 The Educational Master in Science and Technology as a domain expert: the Educational Master has advanced or specialised knowledge of the principles, structure, and technologies of various industrial processes and techniques relevant to subject didactics, and is able to independently identify, critically analyse, and methodically solve complex, multidisciplinary, unfamiliar, practice-oriented design or optimisation problems, taking into account application, material selection, automation, safety, environment, and sustainability, while recognising practical constraints and current technological developments. |
