- The student decomposes the project problem into sub-problems in a visionary way;
- Design decisions are original; decisions and arguments are clearly evaluated and validated;
- Multiple innovative design solutions are developed and compared at different abstraction and implementation levels, including extrapolations taking into account future developments in the field;
- The student uses original, innovative and visionary chains of argumentation that link low-level design decisions with the high-level project goals via all relevant paths.
- The student discusses counter-intuitive and provocative examples (e.g. paradoxes) in order to illustrate variables in the problem definitions and solutions;
- The student shows deep and abstract analytical and synthetic skills;
