These are all critical 21st Century skills for competitive labor force. The tools called "System Thinking" and "Design Thinking" are introduced to help the students achieve these goals.
It is important to mention that effective brainstorming skills are necessary components of mathematical modeling tool for simulation.
Lastly, students are expected to understand the cutting edge science and technology driven market environment in the biopharmaceutical industry.

Will be able to gain“DP1”,“DP2”,“DP3”and“DP5”.
