so im doing my final year of my engineering design degree, it was my first day and my tutor asks 'so what are you doing for your dissertation?' to which i replied ' er ... um ....well...er ...' so ive got to come up with a decent idea by next friday.
i was kind of hopeing i would have something decent to do from work but nothing im currently doing really fits the bill, i had a few reasonable ideas of reasearch based projects but i reckon ill just end up getting bored with it and not put in alot of effort.
so has any one got any ideas or stuff they have always wanted to design but never got around to ? only real criteria is that it has to engineering based and i would like something that i can get my teeth into and something that is actually useful. Car/motorbike based stuff would be good i thought about maybe shaft drive to chain drive convertion or single sided fork set up for a bike seen some cool stuff like that on the custom bike forums. i dont have to make it and i do 3d design work all day long so thats not an issue.
