SUMMARY

The discussion centers on selecting a final year project for an Electrical and Electronics Engineering undergraduate, with a focus on applied physics. The participant seeks a project that integrates physics and mathematics, avoiding areas like robotics and renewable energy. Suggestions include exploring quantum dots, although the participant struggles to identify a practical application. The importance of prior physics coursework for graduate studies in physics is emphasized, along with the need for originality in project ideas.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of applied physics concepts
  • Basic knowledge of quantum dots and their applications
  • Familiarity with project development processes in engineering
  • Awareness of graduate school requirements for physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research practical applications of quantum dots in technology
  • Explore previous successful engineering projects related to physics
  • Investigate interdisciplinary projects that combine physics and engineering
  • Review graduate school prerequisites for physics programs
USEFUL FOR

Electrical and Electronics engineering undergraduates, students interested in applied physics, and individuals preparing for graduate studies in physics.

I am doing Electrical and Electronics engineering. I am current in my 6th sem (8 in total). From the 7th sem i would have to choose a topic/project for my final year, which will go on till the end of the course. I want to pursue physics as my graduate studies. I have been trying to think of some project which will relate to physics and some maths too, as i also read about it in "Do you want to be a physicist" thread.

My university doesn't offer physics courses and isn't very good for research too. So i want some topic which will be in the realm of applied physics but which will help me later in my graduate studies too. I don't want to do some robotics, programming, or renewable energy because that won't relate to pure physics. Also, since i am just an undergrad, the target shouldn't be something so radical and revolutionary, that i would never be able to achieve.. i was looking into quantum dots but i couldn't find a suitable application i could work on.
All suggestions will be appreciated. i just want to use the last year of my engineering to prepare for further studies.

First, if you haven't taken any physics courses, you are going to have a hard time getting into graduate school for physics, regardless of the nature of your final engineering project.

Second, part of the exercise of such projects is to come up with the idea yourself. A good place to start for inspiration is to look at the successful projects from previous years.
