Help: Final Year Project

"(estmated cost around 10000-20000)"

10000-20000 mangoes or coconuts?

I'll get back to you as soon as the OP invents a machine to tell the difference.

You need to discuss it with your tutors.

The drug smuggling drone 5000, the peeping tom crawl bug-cam, or a bio-feedback gun lock that only clears when aiming at yourself.

I'm forced to tell you that I'm joking, because you might not get it. I can't believe that you're almost done with school and still don't get what engineering is about. Please rethink about your real interests and aptitudes, don't become yet another process engineer specialized in lean, six-pack-sigma, the Toyota fallacy or a myriad of newer (most of them redundant and time consuming) industrial philosophies; but who tries to loosen a bolt clockwise with a monkey wrench.

If you ever become an engineer, you'll be there to provide solutions, not to ask for them and how to implement them.

You're welcome

Magnets are the future.

If it was really innovative, do you think we would just give the idea away to the first final-year B-tech student who asks, or develop it and reap the benefits ourselves?

What would you do? Give your best ideas away?

If not, then what sort of ideas did you come here hoping to find? Surely not truly innovative ones, yes? But if so, then you take us for fools, no? So, either way, would you really want our ideas? Non-innovative ideas or ideas from fools? Your question betrays very little forethought and that is why many here are not taking it seriously (just in case it wasn't obvious).

Also a note on your stated budget: for all we know, those numbers could represent literally anything, anything at all - including, as one poster wrote, mangoes and coconuts - you didn't state the units and, were you one of my students, I'd dock your grade for that: a number without units is utterly meaningless. That is a lesson most engineering students learn in their first semester. If they haven't learnt it by their final year (assuming they make it that far), they should seriously consider a career in something else. Yes, it's *that* important.

If you want ideas, find a need and fill it. It's that simple and that complex. If you want to be an engineer, your thinking needs to be more rigorous and thorough. One does not dabble in engineering: you're either an engineer or you're not, so which are you?

Ask whomever is paying your bills.

Well with a budget of $10-20k money isn't the problem (or are we talking about some other currency).

What do you want to build, you must have some ideas already?

Check with the faculty. If you are in an institution that does research(as most do) there is always a prof that has pet ideas that they want someone to look into. Also means that you can have a mentor to give you some good advice.

Coming up with an original idea of your own can be difficult.
