Acquired competences:
Knowledge:

- Knowledge of the principles and methods of natural sciences (mathematics, physics, other natural sciences) relevant to the field of IT.

Skills:

He/she can apply his/her knowledge acquired during his/her study to acquire deeper knowledge in the field of information engineering and to process special literature and solve problems related to information technology. - He/she constantly improves his/her knowledge and keeps up with the development of the computer engineering profession.

Attitude:

- He/she genuinely represents the professional principles of engineering and information technology fields. - He/she aims to see through the entire engineering system not only his/her own field. - He/she understands and embraces the ethical principles and legal implications of his/her profession. - He/she makes an effort to work efficiently and to high standards.

Autonomy and responsibilities:

- He/she feels responsible for IT systems analysis, development and operation, both individually and as part of a team. - He/she reveals the weaknesses of the technologies applied, risks of processes and initiates measures which reduce them.
