Apply the skills and abilities in requirements analysis and configuration control while working plans, processes and projects as assigned. • No Sample Indicators. 2. Use the skills required in project management to track and assess the progress of a plan, process, or project as assigned. • No Sample Indicators. 3. Apply the skills in quality assurance as well as those in process management and development for appropriate applications of systems integration techniques to an assigned project. • No Sample Indicators. ST 2 Use technology to acquire, manipulate, analyze and report data. 1. Use IT tools to manipulate data and create reports, plans, processes, or projects from data provided. • Use statistical tools to analyze data. • Query and extract information from data. • Create knowledge from data. 2. Use modeling, simulation, or visual reproduction to effectively analyze, create and/or communicate to others regarding plans, projects, problems, issues, or processes. • Apply techniques for modeling systems or problems. • Apply techniques for scientific visualization and animation of complex physical systems or problems. • Test different scenarios to multiple variables. 3. Apply a currently applicable computer programming language to a process, project, plan, or issue as assigned. • Write a computer program, e.g., Java, C++. • Execute a computer program, e.g., Java, C++. 4. Apply statistical tools that verify the reliability or validity of the data used or collected in the plan, project, process, or problem. • Using a selected statistical tool, compute data reliability. • Select and use the tools to analyze and synthesize data. • Describe the meaning of probability and how it applies to a set of data. 5. Apply a technological, scientific, or mathematical concept (use of algorithms) when communicating with others on issues, plans, processes, problems, or concepts. • Select the proper visualization tools. • Use simulation, modeling and prototype techniques to solve problems. • Communicate data visually.
