Senior Project Brain Storm Question

In summary, the student is seeking advice for their senior project in the field of electrical engineering, specifically in the areas of robotics and automation or alternate energy sources. They are open to suggestions and willing to make sacrifices due to limited resources. One potential idea is to focus on automating a manufacturing or industrial process, while other possibilities include designing a solar-powered system or a wind energy device.

Good day Physic Forum:
I am a third year Electrical Engineering student at the University of Technology, Jamaica, where I specialize in Instrumentation and Control System. I have being in the process of brain storming ideas for my senior project from early as March of this year and up to this point I have not yet being able to come up with a feasible project that can be done over two semesters(my final year). I am not asking that your do my project, I am just asking that you help me in the brain storming process and give advice as I go from stage to stage. I would like to begin before I enter my final year so the pressure would be less on me and I can comfortably manage my time. I am interested in any thing from robotics and automation to alternate energy sources. Alternate energy source would be ideal as I am studying in the Caribbean, but I am passionate about robotics and automation. Please take into consideration that I may lack resources to complete very complex projects because of my location and economy, but I am will to make sacrifices. I am eagerly awaiting your response and I look forward to working under your supervision. Thanks in advance.

Jr.Hello Johniel, Thank you for your inquiry. It sounds like you have a lot of passion and enthusiasm for robotics and automation, and I am sure you can find a project that is both feasible and interesting for your senior project. One possible idea would be to focus on the automation of a manufacturing or industrial process. You could research existing processes, identify potential areas for improvement, and then design and build an automated system that can improve the efficiency of the process. This could involve using sensors, actuators, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to design and build the system. In terms of alternate energy sources, you could look into projects related to solar energy or wind energy. For example, you could build a small-scale solar-powered system that could be used for powering a home or a small business. You could also look into designing a wind turbine or other wind energy device. I hope these ideas give you some inspiration for your project. Best of luck with your project!
