Osaamistavoitteet

The students can develop operation processes comprehensively. They master the use of more developed quality tools (QS9000 tools) and they can apply quality award criteria. They master the quality assurance of measurements and measuring systems. They are able to develop quality-, environmental-, and safety management systems.

EA-ER EUR-ACE Engineering practice: The students have a ability to select and use appropriate methods and tchniques to develop operation processes. They also be able to combine theory and practice to solve development problems. They have understanding of applicable techniques and methods and of their limitations. They also have awareness of the non-technical implications of their choises.
EA-TR EUR-ACE Transferable skills: The students demonstrate an awareness of the health, safety, environmental and legal issues and responsibilities of engineering practice, understand the impact of engineering solutions in a societal and environmental context.
YHT-KV Internationality skills: The students are able to work independently in situations, in addition to her/his first language, at least one foreign language.
