- The research/design results are excellent in terms of quality and quantity and respectively there are clear evidences (e.g. external proofs in an appropriate form, e.g. an award, (applied) patent, published paper (or submitted, after round one, with positive feedback from the reviewers), etc.;
- The supervisor is committed to actively share and promote the research/design results;
- The achieved results are future-proof;
- The work should demonstrate an own vision on the development of the field;
- The work should be robust and defendable in a comparative way against alternative visions;
- (Real life) elaborated demos are encouraged;
- There should be a solid, visionary answer to the research question and/or a complete design deliverable;
- The work should be directly and actively communicated to the outside world since it is not only a source of pride for TU/e but also it is capable to realistically progress the community knowledge;
- The results clearly advance both theory and application very much and will remain relevant for a long time ahead;
- The technical contribution is excellent!
9
- The achieved results are novel, useful and verifiable;
- There should be clear contributions to the field which will be followed-up after the project.
- The results should be at the SOTA level and worthy for an eventual publication;
- The essence of the final work should be publishable as it is and a clear proof for that has to be provided, e.g. a submitted paper (initial reviewers’ reactions may not be included);
- The Master-level work should be completed within the nominal period of time.
- Some sort of a demo is encouraged;
- The work should be directly communicated to the outside world since it is a source of pride for TU/e;
- The results clearly advance both theory and application very much;
- The technical contribution is very good!
8
- The achieved results should be on par with the SOTA level.
- Clear qualitative and quantitative approaches;
- There must be multiple design trade-offs well defined and solved;
- The work may be directly communicated to the outside world since it is representative for TU/e;
- The results may advance the theory and/or application;
- The technical contribution is good!
7
- The achieved results should be clear - it should be clear what has been done and why.
- The work should have considered the main papers and discourse in the field;
- there must be concrete countable deliverables;
- There must be at least one design trade-off well defined and solved;
- The work may require additional scrutinization before communicated to the outside world but in anyway it is representative for TU/e;
- The achieved results do not contradict the established theory;
- There is some technical contribution.
6
- There are some research/design results that can be extracted from the work and the student should be able to explain these with some help in the discussion;
- Ultimately, it should be clear though what has been done and why.
- The achieved results agree with the established knowledge, the basic theory and methods in the field;
- The work can hardly be pro-actively communicated to the outside world, even after additional scrutinization, but yet it is always fair and genuine;
- The achieved results can be explained with the established theory.
