Final year, shouldn't the design portion of the project, weigh more heavily than the assembly/construction? If I were the instructor, I'd expect a little more from my students, than just being able to solder a Radio Shack kit. Cornell University has a website, and they have all the past EE projects, pictures, write ups, schematics for many of them, some even have the microcontroller source code. If I was clueless, and pressed for time, and of course not a student at Cornell... I think that would be a good place to snag a quick project for my final year.
I really have no idea what sort of projects would meet your needs or experience, since I don't know your classes, your personal level of experience, interests. It's your final project, it your chance to show your instructor, your school, your classmates, and future employers, who you are, and what you a capable of doing. It's really a very personal choice, and everyone else can only guess, or throw-up
, random suggestions for you to reject.
Was there any part of your studies, that you wanted to know more, or wanted to go further with, but moved on to the the next chapter a little to soon. Maybe you thought about how something could be made into a useful device?
