1.3. Program shall establish its expected Learning Outcomes which consist of abilities to utilize knowledge, skills, resources and attitudes as described in the following (a) to (e) items to be acquired by the student at the time of completion of the study:
(a) analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions,
(b) design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline,
(c) communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts,
(d) recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles,
