Hey guys!

I'm a ME student starting my 3rd year and I am trying to come up with project ideas for next year. I was wondering if you could help me out. For the moment I was mostly interested in eco friendly/ sustainable projects but I'm not completely up to date on the subject so I'm not sure what are some current solvable problems that I could work on. Else, I would also be keen on doing a cool project that would benefit people in third world countries. So if you have any ideas, feel free to share.

Thanks,
