Project Proposal Format and Ideas for MMBS Semester Project

Project Proposal Format
Students from all 3 class ids of MMBS LAB are required to submit the Semester Project Proposals for approval. In your proposal you need to state the project title, group members and the description of project.
Project description should summarize the key idea/objective behind the project and how you plan to achieve the same using a microcontroller.
DEADLINE FOR PROPOSAL SUBMISSION IS 20th SEP, 2012 (THURSDAY). FAILING TO SUBMIT THE PROPOSAL ONTIME WILL RESULT IN MARKS DEDUCTION.
YOU ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSALS(HARDCOPY, SINGLE PAGE) TO ME(ABDUR REHMAN) IN THE DSL LAB (OR TO SIR UMAIR IF I'M NOT PRESENT THERE).

NOTE
Keep in mind that it is a semester project, the purpose of which is to assess your understanding of the theoretical concepts of MMBS and your ability to practically implement these concepts. Please choose a project in which a microcontroller provides an optimal solution in terms of computation capability and cost. The project must not be so simple that it may be easily implemented by the jellybean logic ICs and not so complex(computation intensive) that its beyond the computation capabilities of a microcontroller. 
The project must have a practical application and it should be evident that a microcontroller's decision making ability and on chip peripherals were in fact required to achieve the task.


 Where to look for Project Ideas???
There is a plethora of microcontroller based project ideas on the internet available at various websites, dicussion boards and forums. Below are some good websites and forums from which you may get the project ideas for the MMBS semester project, electronic projects in general and even Senior Design Project!

Magazines
There is also a variety of electronics magazines, with audience ranging from hobbyists to professionals. These include EveryDay Practical Electronics (EPE), Nuts and Volts, Servo, Silicon Chip, Elektor, (some issues of)Make magazine etc.


Last but not the least, most books on microcontrollers include complete projects with practical applications...
