[OO.org-OS4] University projects

Dear all, The time has come when our projects coordinator has asked for us to submit our project descriptions for students to choose from. Following the brief meeting I had with Olegil et. al. at AmiGBG, I would now like to enlist your help in formulating some of these descriptions so that we can get my students involved in this project. I cannot do this myself, as I do not know the current status of the project, nor do I know what needs to be done so far. While thinking up these descriptions, please keep the following 5 points in mind: 1. These are 3rd year Electronic Engineering students who have covered C/C++ in their 1st two years of study - they are NOT computer science or software engineering students. 2. From start to finish, they would have only about 6-8 months (2 semesters and a bit) in order to complete their work. 3. They should be spending about 5-10 hours a week on this (remember they have other courses to study too). 4. The projects should be realistic for students of this level. 5. The description should contain enough detail/pointers for the student to be able to make a good start. I.e. they should know where they should begin to do their research in order to proceed with the actual coding. I hope that descriptions will start to fly in soon after this email. I am looking to supervise at least 4 BEng individual projects, and at least one 4th year MEng GROUP project. A few descriptions (on a bigger scale) for group projects would also be great.
