Physics research ideas for beginners

[satisji]

Hello everyone, I'm just a college guy studying mechanical engineering and I'm very much keen to do something in physics. I've done a little search about a starting point from where i could start doing some physics stuff. I've also posted here some weeks before hoping i'd get something solid. But I'm not satisfied. I can't select anything on my own. (Actually we've given with readymade assignments by the authority, our duty was just to get it done.) So please if anyone can suggest me something, please help me out. I'm a bit desperate.

This is something you should discuss with a professor at your university. Given your limited physics background, you can't jump into the most current research without significant mentoring. See if you can get a position helping out in someone's lab.

Actually i was thinking of approaching to those professors with something on my own. I mean, i want to start something of my own and then approach for help to the professors by showing what I've started. Am i acting a little oversmart?

It's a good idea, but make sure it's related to their field or they might not be able to help you with it. And think about what resources might be available before, say, coming up with an idea for CERN.
