    University final project difficulty

    Hi all

    I am currently in the situation of deciding what to do for my final year project. I was wondering if any had already done such a project and if they could shed any light on the level of difficulty required. I am doing a software engineering degree.

    I have asked tutors and all i really get back is it has to be more than connections to a db. Some more complex functionality!? !?!?!

    I have ideas but after reflection they seem to be a little bit level 5 when the uni say they want level 6! this is all good but a few examples of level six would be nice

    Any help is appreciated

    Please note i am not looking for a final year project just advice on the difficulty.
    cheers truez

    Do you have any particular programming language in mind?

    kind regards,

      .net framework really this would allow me to talk about the framework a little

      And the language chosen depends on the pro's and cons for that specific project.

        It's your final year university project isn't it? How about a 'cross loader': it loads compiled Java classes in Microsoft's virtual machine (by translating Java's byte code); you'll have a lot to say about both frameworks afterwards. For completeness reasons also do a class loader that can load Microsoft's byte code on Java's virtual machine.

        kind regards,

        Jos

          How about something slightly different.... Maybe a remove drawing application? (Like instant message drawing) that works over a TCP or UDP connection and supports basic shape drawing + encrypted transmission.

          Then you get some connection based stuff, some graphics and shapes fit quite nicely with polymorphism normally so would be quite nice all around.

            These are good ideas but I'm not looking for projects just the scale of difficulty required to get a high grade, I have an idea but I am unsure if it hits the difficulty requirements .

              Well I haven't done a computing degree so have no idea on the level of difficulty.

              I also imagine that it varies between universities, specific courses and the person marking the project. Ask you're supervisor on the difficultly level expected...
