synthesize existing and new knowledge, and integration of the same for enhancement of
knowledge.
2. Critical Thinking: Analyze complex engineering problems critically, apply independent
judgment for synthesizing information to make intellectual and/or creative advances for
conducting research in a wider theoretical, practical and policy context.
3. Problem Solving: Think laterally and originally, conceptualize and solve manufacturing
engineering problems, evaluate a wide range of potential solutions for those problems and
arrive at feasible, optimal solutions after considering public health and safety, societal and
environmental factors in the core areas of expertise.
