I am going into my fall semester of E&M and am trying to decide upon a topic to write about for an honors project. I have not taken an E&M course yet so it is difficult for me to really find which topics are too advanced scientifically or mathematically at this point. So far I have taken a...

Do you have any electrical engineering senior design projects suitable for someone who is BME/EE? This is one of the (few) classes necessary if I want to also complete the EE major, which I sort of joined for fun, because (i) they have all the math courses, not sure why and (ii) the professors...

I'm looking for some sort of project to do this summer. I was looking around, and I heard about making a small, home-made cyclotron, but it sounds like materials would be hard to get and expensive. So, does anyone have any examples of a great, preferably time-consuming project that I could...

Hello, I haven’t frequented this board in long while but right now I need some advice. I’m currently a third year electrical engineering student (on an irregular course sequence) and quite frankly, I’m becoming disillusioned about the field I’ve chosen. It’s not that electronics or power...

Hey all, I think what I'm looking for is pretty self explanatory. If this isn't the right forum to post this question in, feel free to yell at me and i'll post it elsewhere. As some background, I am a senior electrical engineering major at a major university. I am in a senior design...

I am a senior level physicist at the University of Alabama: Huntsville and I am going to do my physics research starting next semester. I need some serious, interesting, and fun ideas on what to focus on. Thus far I have had upper level mechanics, intermediate relativity, all calculus and...

The last step before getting my degree in Mathematics is a senior thesis that I need to write. Ideally I could combine my interest in astronomy/astrophysics with a math focus and have a thesis I'd actually be interested in writing. I'm just coming up short as far as ideas go. Does anyone have...

I am in sort of a critical bind: I've been working for several months on an ISEF entry as part of a class (actually, working on the project IS the class), and in the past week it has completely fallen apart -- I won't go into details, but there is absolutely nowhere I can take the project...

We are to find a scientific argument and either prove it or debunk it through research. This was an introductory Physics class and he would prefer to stay somewhat within the scope of the class. Does anybody have interesting debunk-ings?

I don't think this counts as a homework question and if it does, I'm sorry. At my high school, we have an annual coal fair and I wanted to do a calculus-based math project, but I'm having trouble coming up with any good ideas. The project can be about any part of the coal industry, so does...

Hi everyone, In my advanced quantum course (I'm a master's student) I'm supposed to give a 40 minute talk about something that I find interesting that is related to our course material (which is basically anything in quantum. We basically covered: scattering theory, many-body stuff...

I will be an undergraduate senior next year and I am a double major (physics, comp sci). For computer science I have to do a senior project. The only rules besides the obvious being that it has to expand what was taught in class. I want my project to implement physics principles and theory...
