• Apply basic qualitative or participative approaches for problem setting and problem
solving
• Approach open and unspecied problem situations in a constructive way
• Apply advanced HCI techniques to plan and implement common design strategies
• Develop and apply design and implementation strategies appropriate for the diverse

• Understand the complex contexts of real world problem situations
• Implement usable, useful and engaging systems
• Plan and implement appropriate human-centered approaches in the implementation
of interactive systems
• Form a broad and sustainable understanding for a design process that takes into
