I think perhaps a better suggestion would be to make sure you're working with your advisor to ensure that the project will meet your institution's standards for senior projects, which it sounds like Ryan is...

OK, if a "neat thing" meet's your customer's (professor/engineering department) needs, then carry on. Everything I remember hearing from engineering students when I was in college, reinforced by a few current engineering students (team alumni for the most part) seem to stress that an engineering project should fill a real need. Maybe it's just a Louisiana state colleges thing.
