• Must be able to communicate project results and processes in a coherent, structured and understandable manner, both in writing, verbally and graphically.
• Must be able to analyze and evaluate own study efforts and learning in relation to a problem-based group work with a view to continued professional development.
• Must be able to analyze and evaluate collective learning processes for joint knowledge development and exchange of experience.
• Be able to perform analytical, numerical and experimental analysis in order to obtain the response of a simple structural part.
• Be able to compare results and reflect upon assumptions and uncertainties.

Competences

• Must be able to engage in, reflect on and optimize own participation in a group-based project.
• Must be able to consciously reflect on and develop own learning.
• Must be able to engage in, reflect on and optimize collective learning processes in relation to analyzing a simple structural part.
