Theoretical Or Engineering Project

[TheMadman]

Hi!
I'm a student of Computer Science And Engineering. Currently at the 4th year, 10th semester. During the last years I've been giving emphasize on CS topics, not Engineering. I planned to do a research on 'Degree Constraint Minimum Spanning Tree'. But recently at my school my assigned adviser proposed me to do a project that is from hardware side. It is an expansion of his published paper on 'Electronic Spring'. I've to develop an interface to control the circuit and logic from a computer.

I've been working on DCMST from past few months, without any significant progress. Except that I re-discovered mmm... kruskal's algo. Not same, but the idea was same. My plan is to publish a good paper so that I can use it as reference of my research experience and get a scholarship from a good uni.

I think I'm weak on electronics. But, I'm confident that I can cope up with anything since I'm a quick learner.

It will be good to mention that my ultimate goal at this moment is to publish a very good paper.

Anybody can advise me what should i do?

Should I stick to my DCMST research or should I go for the hardware project?I would advise that you consider the benefits of each option before making your decision. For instance, if you want to publish a paper, will a research project in DCMST give you better chances than the hardware project? Also, consider the time it would take for you to complete either project. In addition, think about the skills you will learn through either project and how they might help you in the future. Finally, consider the cost of completing either project and if you can secure the necessary resources. Ultimately, you will need to decide which project will best benefit you and your career goals.
