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.
