    SO2 an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
    • PI-21 Formulate the problem (identify the “need”) and analyze constraints
    • PI-22 Establish appropriate criteria for evaluating potential solutions and tradeoffs
    • PI-23 Generate alternative solutions
    • PI-24 Build an engineering design and analyze the design performance
    • PI-25 Improve engineering design
    SO4 an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
    • PI-41 Identify the global, economic, environmental, and societal context of an engineering situation
    • PI-42 Describe ethical and professional responsibilities related to an engineering project
