Project Ideas

Please read all of the following documents to get ideas for viable projects. I would encourage all of you to choose one of the following projects. I will allow other project ideas, but you have to discuss it with me before writing it up (to make sure both relevance and difficulty is appropriate). I encourage groups of 2 for these projects, although some projects might work with 1 person, or some might require 3 poeple because of the ambitious nature of the project. In certain cases, I will allow more than 3 students in a group, but it highly depends on the project and nature of the work.
