- Good day.
-
- I am an Electrical Engineering student about to enter my last academic term in university. This
- term we can choose all our courses (for specialization) except for one. This is why I am writing
- this letter.
-
- The mandatory course is a project course in which we pick a project and apply what we have
- learned for the last five years. The projects vary in complexity and scope. Generally there are
- two types of projects: a pure research paper in which something new etc. is discussed, and one
- in which a prototype of the project is built and tested. Examples of some projects done before
- are neural network theory, design and building of an 8088 stand-alone computer, remote control
- using MF and HF frequencies, etc.
-
- My problem is that I can't come up with a project. Can anyone out there suggest something?
- I am interested in communications, and electronics (no power engineering). I can program in
- C and assembler (80x86). I am not sure what I want to do, ie. just a report or to come up with
- a product and build it. Note, the projects are usually original and fill some gap in technology.
-
- Here are some of the things that have crossed my mind:
- -Sound processing in real time (ie. effects) (digital or analog).
- -Voice synthesis add on card for a single board computer (text to speech)
- -Some caller id type of application
-
- I would like to do something with telephone interfacing/computer ... but again, everything I
- come up with has either been done before, too simple, too complex.
-
- Any help / ideas received would be greatly appreciated.
- Sorry for the long letter.
-
- Steve.
