Standard 2-2:
Theoretical background, problems analysis and solution
design must be stressed within the programs core material.

The modules of all the programs adequately address:

1)

Theoretical background

2)

Problem solving

3)

Solution design

Some of the modules include the theoretical background and contain problem
solving and solution design while others deal with Theoretical background, Problem
analysis and Solution design separately. During teaching great stress is lead to
problem solving and design of solution.
