Any particular personal interests? This helps with motivation while working on the project...

 

Personally, I suggest looking into Medical Informatics...

i.e. remote consultation via some app, medical records management, etc...

 

Edit:

@HannesR

Please follow your threads so that you will be notified when someone replies...

It's that follow button on the upper right part of the page...

 

also, I'm assuming you have some knowledge of building apps with databases and securing said apps from intrusion...

You're right, I forgot to mention. My general interest would be web development related (back-end), but this can be taken wide (servers, mobile web applications, interesting web architecture, clustering?, ...)

Thanks for the suggestion aswell, I don't think medical informatics is something for me though. I already did a mobile application in that area and it didn't really go that well. (I made a application for people who couldn't talk due to a malfunction in their brain).

 

The other popular suggestion would be remote learning...

 

I took up an intro to community informatics class and we basically covered stuff like this and had to come up with a conceptual system at the end of the semester...

The most popular fields that my classmates took were e-learning and medical informatics... I put my effort into an inclusive election platform...

Suggestion: research bootless clients, aka boot over ethernet.

 

A practical use would be to have many machines turned on 24/7 doing calculations; instead of buying 8 HD for each, just buy 1 500gb SSD to a main PC and have others boot via the network. Helps reduce power consumption (a lot), increases reliability, makes it A LOT easier to mass install update / modify things, makes it easier to back up data..... It's quite the norm in many servers these days.

An e-learning web application would be a nice project for my final work. Can you help me brainstorm the basic requirements of such an application? What kind of technologies would be involved? How did your classmates do it?

 

Is it correct if I'm thinking about Lynda.com? Or do you have a completely different idea?

 

Thanks for all the help :)

 

There are many ways to do it...

 

Using the MOOC model is one easy way... (see: Coursera, Lynda) however, it's been done before, so if you want to try making something new, try targeting the project at marginalized populations (i.e. visually impaired, financially challenged, etc.)... a key feature for a project like this should be accessibility...

 

you can also try a game-based-learning model wherein you use a selection of games in order to facilitate/assist in education...

 

as for technologies... it depends on what you're trying to do...

So what you mean is like a mainframe with 1 HDD sending data to the connected computers who calculate the data and send it back to the mainframe? Sound interesting!

An HD would also be a much cheaper alternative, though less reliable than an SSD. Just make sure not to power all of the machines at the same time, otherwise transfer speeds (and boot time) will REAALLLLY suck...

 

But yeah, if the app is only rarely going to acess the disk and / or you'd have a RAM disk, and HD might be just fine.

I'm currently studying electronic engineering and we do a tiny bit of machine learning. The field is vast, so you should be able to find something of interest, but I'd suggest that you gain some knowledge in probability theory first. If you have that then it is a really fun field to get into.

Another idea: You can look into doing an educational game? You can use Unity as a game engine and script in C#. If you go that route I would gladly help you with design related questions. I can also get you some material to wet your apetite (Mostly Extra Credits's youtube videos)

 

PS: MMO style game for the whole class. You have to go on a raid to solve a difficult problem with each member solving smaller probems and leveling up their in-game character xD

Thanks for the suggestions, i'm currently looking into machine learning and big data. Both seem such good project idea's where I can basicly go into any direction with. I'm getting hyped with the idea of machines learning by themselves from data they receive. I think i'm gonna look into that area a bit more. What are you learning about machine learning exactly?

 

PS: Thanks for all the great suggestion guys :) Don't be hesitant to suggest some more!

 

We do the very basics. Things like signature recognition and I hope object recognition and tracking (I'm still busy with the module)

Hi, I am myself a student in final year of a MSc program and would suggest not to go too wild on the idea unless you are absolutely sure you have the time to research and implement it.

My suggestion would be to consume a social platform's API (Twitter recommended) and build something on top of that. You can do attitude detection towards given trends, data visualization tool for trends over time (worldwide) or plain spam detection with classification algorithms (decision tree, random forest etc).

I have already done bit of research into every suggested topic so feel free to ask for clarification if you find anything interesting.
