Construct and utilize knowledge related to contexts, processes, and cultures: perceiving, designing, and constructing real and virtual contexts suitable for specific tasks; compiling and utilizing many perspectives on given subjects; enhancing decision-making options.

Effectively utilize current and emerging ICT systems: staying atop the technologies that permit modern learning and economies; being first in the adoption and effective use of hardware, software, and networking technologies.

Acquire and assess knowledge of selected global trends: constructing “big pictures” of the world using different resources for each picture; becoming a global thinker and citizen; employing big pictures to help contextualize relatively localized problems, opportunities, goals and means.
