Project Ideas for Students

A large organization uses a huge amount of data every day. Again with time the amount of data keeps on increasing. Keeping a record of those data using pen and paper is not advisable as physical data can be misplaced and difficult to retrieve. So, to run an organization smoothly and to keep a record of all data in a meaning full manner, we require a computerized management system. In this project, you will be addressing one of this kind of problem, which is the management of a library by developing an application using C++ and Oracle 11g.

Numerical analysis is one of the most researched fields today. Getting an exact solution for physical problems is too difficult and again for most of the physical problems exact solution does not exist at all, so numerical techniques are preferred to obtain a fairly exact solution with ease. In this project, you will write your own codes to simulate temperature distribution over a 1D flat plate and compare its result with the exact solution to check the accuracy of your Numerical solution.

The design and fabrication of a braking system is a difficult task. The application of brakes using vacuum in automobiles is a more difficult task in the initial stages of the work. But it has been successfully proved that such brake application is possible with the fail-safe condition. While implementing this idea on a heavy vehicle, it is better to replace the manually operated directional control valve with solenoid operated directional control valve to reduce driver effort and also it will work like a brake pedal switch. In this project, you will design and fabricate a vacuum braking system for a Train.

The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a dedicated controller designed for industrial usage. It contains the various types of I/Os that are very suitably matching with the industrial instrumentation and plant control interfaces. It provides the flexibility in the programming options especially the "ladder language" that is similar to the industrial standard "ladder Network" used for designing automatic control schemes in the plants. So, getting a hands-on experience on PLC is important for an engineer to match the industrial standards. In this project, you will work on making an Automatic door using PLC.

The project title is Design and Implementation of Lift machine Control System using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). In this modern era, lifts have become an integral part of any commercial or public complex. The control system is one of the most important aspects of the electronics control module that are used in the automotive application. The lift system is also known as an elevator controller. The elevator controller will be fully designed on the FPGA board using a simple I/O interface on the FPGA board. The controller will be used in any type of elevator and it will produce a single chip controller compare to other controllers that will need more than one chip.

The development of many technologies that make our existence so comfortable has been intimately associated with the accessibility of suitable materials. In fact, early civilizations have been designated by the level of their materials development (Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age). Thus, tens of thousands of different materials have evolved with rather specialized characteristics of materials. Many of our modern technologies require materials with unusual combinations of properties that cannot be met by the conventional metal alloys, Ceramics & Polymeric materials. In this project, you will get to know about a Functionally Graded Composite material which kind of solve the above problems. You will analyze this material using the Finite Element Method by modelling it using MATLAB.

There are mainly three different ways of heat transfer, Heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation. Conductive heat transfer is the basic mode of heat transfer, and it is comparatively easy to understand. In this project, you are going to solve a 2D conductive heat transfer problem involving variable conductivity. You will use numerical methods to solve this problem.

It is expensive to use physical experiments to get essential engineering data for designing is quite expensive. Getting engineering data of a fluid in motion, using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulations are relatively inexpensive. Costs are likely to be decreased as computational power has increased. So, using numerical methods to solve various flow problems is effective. In this project, you are going to solve a 1D Shock tube problem using Finite Volume Method.

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines are used in manufacturing industries to develop a product with more accuracy. CNC machine uses a subtractive method to fabricate or develop a product. In this Arduino project, we are going to develop a miniature CNC machine which can be controlled using Arduino.
