Typically, learning outcomes in a competence area focus on:
• Defining, explaining, summarizing, and interpreting the underlying principles
and theories of relevant areas of technical competence to complete tasks
while working under appropriate supervision;
• Performing assigned tasks by using the appropriate professional skills;
• Recognizing the importance of professional values, ethics, and attitudes in
performing assigned tasks;
• Solving simple problems, and referring complex tasks or problems to
supervisors or those with specialized expertise; and
• Providing information and explaining ideas in a clear manner, using oral and
written communications.
Learning outcomes at the foundation level relate to work situations that are
characterized by low levels of ambiguity, complexity, and uncertainty.
