- Feasible: can be completed within the allotted time and available resources
- Applicable: serves a purpose and has importance in a particular sector
- Interesting: sustains motivation from start to finish
- Specific: neither too broad nor too narrow, making the project doable and able to answer a specific problem, with an impact on society and community
