The Bachelor of Science develops or improves a process, instrument, product or material or scales a process up or down in the Applied Science domain.

The professional demonstrates this by:

A | Establishing the criteria that the product, process, instrument, or material must meet in a complex situation, based on the client’s requirements or wishes (Program of Requirements, PvE).
B | Independently identifying subject-specific concepts in the Program of Requirements in a complex situation.
C | Selecting the most appropriate subject-specific design parameters in a complex situation that can influence the process, product, instrument, or material.
D | Selecting suitable subject-specific models in a complex situation, verifying their alignment with the PvE, applying them, and validating them.
E | Investigating the subject-specific and economic feasibility and sustainability of the outcome in a complex situation.
F | Selecting the most suitable raw materials and unit operations in a complex situation, both qualitatively (which) and quantitatively (quantity, dimensions).
G | Documenting the development and outcome according to the standards in the professional field for a complex situation.
