Degree in Computing Final Year Project

PrChaos · 11 Oct 2011 at 16:30

Hi guys. I'm currently studying for a degree in computing (BSc Computing) and for my final year project I have to develop some sort of product that can be used for a specific purpose. For example, a CPU stress testing application.

It can be something similar to products already available but it must have some sort of advantage over the one that already exists.

My problem is... I can't think of anything that we don't already have that is possible to create within my skill set.

I have done Java and C# programming as well as SQL so I am competent in all of those areas... But I am not an expert in any of them.

Does anyone have any possible ideas they think might be useful in the real world?

Thanks.

Yes that's true, but the point is I have about 3-5 months to think of an app or product that I can develop that is useful. There is no point undertaking a huge project that is completely unmanageable because it cannot be done within the time scale.

Mobile counterpart? I'm afraid I don't quite get what you mean. Do you mean an app for a phone that has the ability to communicate with a desktop app?

I guess I actually got the 3-5 months to think of one lol. From today's lecture I need to get an idea as soon as possible really.

I like the idea of using making an app for Android as well as for a PC, but I'm not so sure about the SMS part of it.

Do you think it has potential for any other uses? For example... Transferring files from the phone to a location on the PC?
