Design a solution to the problem
Implement a design producing a functioning software system that meets user requirements or addresses the research problem at a high level of quality
Validate and verify that the solution solves the problem
Deploy an implemented software system
Use standard processes or domain notations and tools such as UML, mathematics, scientific notations, and relevant modeling tools
Demonstrate written and oral communication skills necessary to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences
Interact with the client to determine appropriate criteria and constraints on the design, and the appropriate solution to solve to satisfy the client need
