Hi All,

Please sugest me some Projects. If possible please give details about the project.

I suggest you come up with your own ideas. How are we supposed to know what you're capable of?

 

[rochitsharma]

Since its my final year's major project. So it should not be a small project. And my interest and skills are strong in communication field, specifically Mobile communication.

If your interest and skills are that strong, you shouldn't have much trouble coming up with an idea then?

go build a field strength meter, SWR/Watt meter. They are basic in design and useful in the field. An easy search on the Internet should present you with hundreds of designs and other ideas..... it's elementary and by now you would have had a project idea under way, less our cynical replies.

 

[rochitsharma]

I think showing SWR meter as my major project wont be a smart move. I need to show relatively much better project. And Please if possible do suggest some project on mobile communication.

Mobile communication... Hmmm... well there use to be a lot of requests for a cellphone disruption device, but nobody could find any schematics....

Alright now I have to post this question since we have so many repeat posts of newly registered members, who apparently are ending their collegiate years and need to submit a project of some sort. I work for a major university here in the USA and I have yet to come across senior students who are clueless over an idea for their senior design project. So what is it with some of you foreigners and your seeming lack of intuitiveness or the initiative to investigate your field of study on how you can benefit it with a project? So, what gives here? Just last year the undergraduate students were submitting working projects that even included a "smart pen" that interfaced to a computer, which then was projected onto a large screen ... basically an electronic chalkboard capable of saving pages of written text to a folder. One group submitted a working retina scanning circuit. Robotics abounds as well as RFID research and telemetry projects that monitor and communicate a train locomotive's system status. These students are doing top-notch research with working models to support and demonstrate their efforts.

Meantime, half-way around the globe, there seems to be a culture of pre-graduates about to receive a degree after years of study, but undergo a brain fart when it comes time to apply their accumulated knowledge!!

In my mind, this kind of complete lack of individual creativity seems to be analogous to a complete lack of interest in the subject. All the people I've known who had a personal interest in electronics have had no problem coming up with project ideas... Most of us, myself included, have the opposite problem: way too many project ideas, and not enough time to build them!

It's even worse when you consider that over the first 3 or so years of their college career in their chosen major, they KNEW they are going to have to do a senior project, so they have had MORE than enough time to think of something.

I prefer to think that these people are merely the worst students, representing only a small percentage of the EE college student population around the globe, and probably (or perhaps, for the sake of the industry, hopefully) won't graduate anyway... And forums like this are just a magnet for them. Which seems like a real possibility, since it seems like none of these clueless students ever returns to the forum as a contributor later on...

The strange part of these 'Final Project' requests, is that I get the impression that this is also the first project for these individuals. How do you go through 3 years and have absolutely no clue about what you are requesting. You think after all those classes, you'd understand how far reachinh your field is, and what areas you are able to work with.

At least this on narrowed it slightly to moble communications. So, the cellphone jammer didn't get a response (ususally stirs up the hornet's nest). How about stuff a cellphone into a wrist watch? Just the basic phone function, no fancy internet porn stuff, just dial out/answer incoming stuff.

 

[HarveyH42]

Can't believe my last post got censored, it wasn't even an offensive word. I've used much worse, is this something new here? So tempting to test this censorship software. Adult internet content?

 

[evandude]

Wow, that is surprising... (in the subscribed topic reply email I got when you replied, the word wasn't censored, so I saw what it was), but then again I guess there wouldn't be any viable reason for that word to be used on an electronics forum, so oh well...

[HarveyH42]

I hadn't even realized there was censorship here, other than the moderators. Never really seemed to be much need for it. Wonder if it keeps stats for each user concern explicit content, or a list of words we aren't allowed to use publicly.
Sorry, just never beened censored before, lived in America all my life. This must be either a UK or Canadian based forum, their use to that kind of stuff.

 

[Hero999]

This has come up before. I disagree with it, mainly because not all the banned words are ofensive and sometimes certain words need to be used in context when we're having discussion about something especially censorship. Fortunately it's easilly circumvented by setting the text colour to black for one letter of the ofending word.

For example to display pornography you have to type p[COLOR="Black"]o[/COLOR]rnography.

Why should a student cram a cell phone into a watch? The manufacturers will have it made before he does.
My cell phone is very small, half is its battery, a good percentage is its two colour screens and camera. It has tonnes of RAM and an FM radio in there somewhere. My LCD watch must be about 30 years old and isn't much smaller.

In the beginning electronics could be built in a garage for modest sums. Nowadays it's all surface mount, automated assembly, and things you can buy ready made for less than the shipping on the parts to do it yourself.

I'm not entirely unsympathetic to those looking for a "cool" project given the obstacles. I can understand why it is possible to take a bunch of high level theroy courses in mobile communications at a university with no exposure to the lab. Labs cost money -- Euuwww. Big tuition -- Gooood, Money for labs -- Baaaad.

The part about creativity may be more social and political. If you've been taught and have observed that the nail which stands up get hammered down it's pretty hard to be creative in those circumstances.

 

[audioguru]

The problem is with the different cultures of the world.
"Over here" the students are making creative designs for their thesis.
"Over there" the students don't have a clue so they come begging for ideas from over here. Maybe instead of learning about electronics they should learn about something that is done by their people.

 

[Sceadwian]

That's what you need a hobby for, figure out how to apply electronics to something else you like to do. I can't think of any hobby in the universe that couldn't be benefitted by some time of specialized electronics device which would have absolutely no mass market appeal and would be relativly simple to construct.

 

[HarveyH42]

But how do you go through 3 years of higher education, and not pick up a few ideas along the way. The classes before yours had the same requirements. Certainly, you would see what other students have done, and are doing. Do something similar or improved. Take a different approach, or a simpler/cheaper way to do it. What kind of response do these people truely expect to 'I need a project' request. They don't post any requirements or restrictions, seldom any direction as to any specfic area of interest. Or even what some of the other students are working on (can't have the entire class turn in the same project). Are expected to just start regurgitating suggests and schematics, just to be told its being done already?
Personally, I have my own projects in the works, some I wouldn't mind sharing, some may have a commercial value (briefly, I'm sure...), but I don't have a lot of spare time (except this week, vacation).

Zombies go to school for many years and don't learn anything.
They get guys in forums like this one to write the exams for them.
