Degree Qualification Profiles Intellectual Skills Intellectual Skills: These are cross-cutting skills that should transcend disciplinary boundaries. Students need all of these Intellectual Skills to acquire and apply both general and specialized knowledge (Lumina Foundation, 2011, p. 8). The first column below lists the DQP student learning outcomes for Intellectual Skills. These need to remain static. The second column contains the newly revised UTM General Education SLOs aligned with possible matches. These may need to be moved around. The other columns are working columns to facilitate mapping UTM outcomes and coursework to the DQP SLOs.
