Software Development Projects

robbio87

What kind of projects do software development students do in 3rd and 4th year?

A few examples would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Hey robbio87,

Here's the list from 3rd year last year

1. Android phone logging app for a companies sales people
2. Web based part of the above
3. Data structure teaching application
4. 8086 Interpreter
5. Exam Language trainer
6. Network based PR voting system
7. A rival to google
8. Math worksheet generator
9. Music editor and player
10. Route planner
11. Vocabulary trainer for mobile
12. Java bytecode interpreter
13. Lego robotics
14. Web ripper
15. Android GPS

There were more and if you came up with your own idea, there was a good chance of getting that.

4th Year
1. Number plate recognition
2. Intelligent surveillance system
3. Shopping app for multi platform
4. Sat nav for Android
5. Compare concurrency Erlang and Java
6. Online programming judge
7. Active objects in Lua
8. Simple task Parallel library for C

And some more I cant remember. Again if you can think of anything good you might get it too.

Hope that helps a bit.

Thanks a lot,

Just wanted to see what level I'll need to be at when I get there. Are they team projects?

there's some that look interesting... some that look slightly more complicated than what we'd be doing now!


Cheers!

I see you created the Balance checker for Android, well keep at that and you will be right on track, if not ahead.

No they are solo projects mostly, there are some team projects, teams of 2. you get to pick a top 5 and you will most likely get one of your choices.

They all kinda have something going for them, its all down to personal choice, ones I thought sounded crazy were other peoples favourites.

One thing I will say is to get used to doing good documents..research report, functional spec, design, etc.. A lot of marks go on the documentation.

Fantastic... One thing I love is documents :rolleyes:

I'm just looking forward to learning how to make cool programs. Slightly more sophisticated than Java command line programs :mad:

I may get cracking at the functional spec I have due for next week!!

Thanks again zeuss... Very helpful!

As a first year who hopes to go on do the software development stream that list is very scary! I havent the slightest idea of where to even start with those types of programs!

Sorry, didnt mean to scare you.

I wouldn't worry too much, they may look a little scary now but by the time 3rd year comes around they won't look anywhere near as bad.

No problem at all, glad to help.

Keep experimenting with Android and you'll soon be developing your sophisticated apps.

I will give you 1st and 2nd years a little tip:

The best programmers are the people who practice and practice.
After Second year, you are officially a programmer so learn different lanaguage/s.
Forget about having a social life hahaha....21 weeks is no joke.

Can you clarify what you mean by 21 weeks is no joke?

RealistSpy

Due to Internship or Project in third year, you only have 21 weeks in Collehe then Internship or Project. This means Final year exam is in Feburary and assesements ever 2 weeks or so. The year is very tough.
