A design degree. Yes, certainly it is about making. I did not say  
that she wasn't making anything. I would expect a prototype.

This is exactly my point. She has the capability to create a semi- 
functional prototype. She could create a video similar to the one  
Adaptive Path recently produced for the Charmr. There are many  
possible artifacts that can be created as part of her project. But,  
she should not be expected, as a requirement to graduate, to put it  
into production.
