The ability to apply the knowledge and tools learned in the undergraduate curriculum. 2. The ability to use constraint based engineering design process to generate design options. 3. The ability to design and conduct engineering experiments in support of design or development using literature search. 4. Ability to select appropriate tools. 5. The ability to form a team and to participate effectively, communicating clearly, and managing a task oriented project. 6. Effective individual and team communication
