Project ideas Definition and 126 Threads

I'm just going to my second year in the university as a physics major and I'm trying to beat time by starting research on my final year project(something new and involves both theoretical and experimental ideas) but i don't seem to get any ideas.please help.

Hi, everyone. I'm not sure if this is the right forum as this isn't a simple question-and-answer homework assignment, so please excuse me if this isn't in the right place. I posted this in a different forum earlier and I think it got deleted, so apologies for the double posting. I'm a high...

I'm finished with all my physics classes but QM and a senior project. I'd like to finish in the spring and possibly start grad school next fall, but I can't because my college is not offering QM again until next fall. The last time it was offered was fall 06. You can't do an indepedent study...

I have to design, test and build a project for my final year of my HND Electrical & Electronic engineering course, and I am unsure of what I will do. I would appreciate any ideas, no matter how difficult or easy they are, these will just be ideas which I might use to adapt into my own...

Homework Statement Im sure most of us have heard about and done an egg drop project sometime in our lives, and right now is the time to do mine. We will be dropping the egg that is inside of our project from the second story of a building, and then from the third story. We are allowed to...

Help on project ideas! I'm a 3rd year student of mechanical engineering. I have to submit a proposal for a project within a week. The project should be on control and measurement. I need some ideas and any web links related.Plz help! Things i shouldn't use in my project: Microcontroller...

I am in need of a project that needs to be based around "computational physics" firstly, can someone define "computational physics" for me? My best understanding is that it's the physics that have more to do with math and equations versus physical exploitations. secondly, does anyone have...

There is a local physics projects for juniors taking physics. I need some good ideas, can anybody suggest some?

Hey guys I am looking for some ideas of projects to do for a physics class. It is for the last year of high school. I am open to all kinds of ideas, feel free to share them :)

Hello everyone, For my programming class we have to find somthing we want to code and do it, and it must be at least 1,000 lines of code. This is an indepedant project we have to work on through out the semester. This is an internmediate programming course so it doesn't have to be that...

Hi everyone, This is my first time posting. Basically, I need to design and carry out an upper level research project for a class I'm taking. My two ideas so far: 1) Design a realistic, mathematical model for the growth of a non-rotating, non-polarized Schwarzschild black hole... 2)...

I'm in Grade 11 taking my first course ever in physics (physics 11 :P). My teacher recently assigned a project. For this project I basically have to analyze the motion of an object with regard to displacement, velocity, work, force, power and energy either generated or put into the object. So...

Hey, I am supposed to do a senior project over any subject so I decided why not do it on something I love, Physics. My only problem is I don't really have any good ideas for what my project should be based on. I thought about doing the unrealistic aspects of movies that are based on physics...

Hey all, quick question here. I'm doing my first year of ee at college right now, and while some of the classes I'm taking (physics etc) are helping me very much to understand some of the topics, I'm getting extremely eager to practice some circuit design (my first circuit design class won't be...

I have to do a project for my AP physics class. It’s due in about a week and I have no clue what to do for it. I’d like to do something that has to do with electricity but I’m open for any ideas. If anyone has done or knows about a fun physics experiment, please tell me about it. It can’t be...

i was wondering if anyone has any ideas for a summer project that involves building with the use of physical concepts. i am looking for somthing not very difficult, please keep in mind that i am a beginer at physics and only a high school student. any ideas are greatly appricated.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of good projects to display the big bang theory. I have read about one where you place dots on a balloon and then blow it up to show how the universe is expanding, I was hoping someone might have other ideas maybe with more pizazz. Thanks for any ideas.

Hello friends , I presume that all of you know about KVPY . This time I was an interviewee for the kvpy scholarships , but not successful ! . But I know that I have one more chance next year after completing a project .That is the problem I don't know what kind...

Does anyone have a good idea for a senior project to do involving physics or astronomy/cosmology, or possibly both? Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Hi everyone: I really want to enter the new-york Intel ISEF fair with a project related to phyical science or math. I'm open to any ideas, but keep these rules in mind: - The project must be original research on a specific topic -It needs to be feasible on a...

I’m in the physics club at my college. We are looking for ideas for our “year project”. Last year we built a full size trebuchet. Our club is fairly small, 10-15 members. Any suggestions on what we can do this year?

I am doing a book report project (its actually a final project) for my English class. I chose The Elegant Universe. Anyway, one of the portions of the project that is killing me is the part where we have to make book marks for the whole class (32). I want to just make copies of a 2D book mark...

I've got a question about astronomy and star collision : I have to make a project about a topic (in astronomy) which takes about half a year. Now one point is that you can't just collect data and write a a text about that. You also have to do some practical work. No first I wanted to choose...

I have to take a Physics Project course where I would have to undertake a reserach endeavour whilst being supervised by a Professor at the university...any suggestions as to what this endeavour could be? This is a senior level underdergraduate course and my interest is in particle physics...

This seems to be a fairly common question. Let's make a list of possible topics and projects someone could do for these competitions.

I'm just about to start a piece of research project on particle physics. Can anyone give me some useful ideas and websites containing useful information? I just want to have a general idea about it. Also interesting things that I can do with Particles. What types of theories are linked to...
