Senior Design Projects

[Ginger Power]

I'm in the process of figuring out what project I want to do for my mechanical engineering senior design project at NDSU. Because NDSU's mechanical engineering program has grown so much in recent years, they are very willing to take project ideas. NDSU is always looking for sponsors to partner with for senior design projects. I had the idea to get a senior design project sponsored by an FRC team. The team would define the scope of the project and provide the funding for the project.

Has anybody else ever done something like this? What did you do for your senior design project? What would make a good FRC related senior design project?
