The document defines graduate attributes for engineers, engineering technologists, and engineering technicians. Graduate attributes are sets of individually assessable outcomes that indicate a graduate's potential competence. Attributes are defined for those covered by the Washington, Sydney, and Dublin Accords and involve applying knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and specialization.

Purpose of Graduate Attributes
● Graduate attributes are defined for educational
qualifications in the engineer, engineering
technologist and engineering technician tracks.
● The graduate attributes serve to identify the
distinctive characteristics as well as areas of
commonality between the expected outcomes of
the different types of programmes.
