SUMMARY

The discussion centers on project ideas for a physics student specializing in industrial physics and renewable energy. Participants suggest exploring the evolution of industrial physics since the 1700s and its implications for the future. A practical project could involve documenting research methods and presenting findings visually, utilizing basic resources like internet access and printing capabilities. Emphasis is placed on the importance of information management and the distinction between knowledge and understanding in the field.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of industrial physics principles
  • Familiarity with renewable energy concepts
  • Basic research skills using online resources
  • Ability to create visual presentations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the historical development of industrial physics
  • Explore case studies in renewable energy applications
  • Learn about effective information management techniques
  • Develop skills in creating engaging visual presentations
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, educators in industrial physics and renewable energy, and anyone interested in practical applications of physics knowledge in project development.

I would suggest that you explain what "industrial physics and renewable energy " is, how it has evolved since the 1700s and what it means to the future. The internet is vast and showing how you attacked this idea and gathered information from the internet can be well documented and presented. Information management is essential for your field and showing how it can be done is a key insight, the path to the AI and problem-solving.

Thank you for your reply. what i really want is something more practical.
 
I might be able to suggest something different but I do not know what you consider practical. My suggestion only required access to the internet, access to a printer and some means of presenting your results, basically a wall on which to past the printed images and text. What do you not find practical in this scenario? Perhaps there are project constraints that you have not shared with this forum?
 
Here is an example, from the phys site, we have a definition, "Industrial physics is the application of physics knowledge and principles to the design and manufacturing of products and services," You could present how, before people had such knowledge, they made products or developed and delivered services. You might also cover and show how knowledge does not always include understanding.
