Opiskelija ymmärtää, miten uudet teknologiat tulevat muuttamaan työympäristöjä. Opiskelija tuntee uusiin teknologioihin liittyviä käsitteitä ja termejä. Opiskelijalla on käsitys uusien teknisten ratkaisujen tuomista mahdollisuuksista, (eettisistä) haasteista ja uhkakuvista. Perehtyessään johonkin uuteen teknologiaan opiskelijaa oppii myös itsenäiseen, elinikäistä oppimista tukevaan työskentelytapaan.

Osana oppimisprosessiasi on oppia vähintään yhtä uutta huipputeknologiaa ja sen sovelluksia valitulla teknologian alalla. Tämä pitää sisällään seuraavat oppimistulokset:
- valmius tutkia uusia teknologioita niiden erikoistumisalueen eturintamassa
- kyky tehdä hakuja kirjallisuudessa, käyttää kriittisesti tietokantoja ja muita tiedonlähteitä
- kyky ottaa käyttöön elinikäinen oppiminen
