  • Expected reliability
  • Expected maintainability/reparability
  • Flexibility

In presenting the awards, CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY Editor in Chief Mike Buetow said, "I sat with some of the judges as they evaluated the entries, and can say they often expressed tremendous admiration at the ingenuity of the products. The plaudits ranged from ease-of-use and ease of implementation, to accessibility and repeatability."
