A field guide for picking a final-year project

Ideas that earn their place in the real world.

01 / THE LENS

Good projects start with a failure worth preventing.

Every card is framed around a real user and a decision your prototype can improve. Use the three checks below before falling in love with a technology.

01

Find the leak

What gets wasted, damaged, delayed, or made unsafe when nobody notices?

02

Close the loop

Sense the condition, make a recommendation, then take a small useful action.

03

Test in public

Pick a context you can observe: a lab, shop, street, farm, or university building.

02 / THE PROJECT SHELF

Find your team’s starting point.

Filter by the world you want to improve. Save the few that make you curious, then compare them with your constraints.

03 / MAKE IT YOURS

The best idea is the one your team can actually validate.

Shortlist a few concepts, then pressure-test them against access to hardware, data, users, and a place to test. A smaller scope with a real user beats a grand promise every time.

01Can we reach the user?

Talk to the person who experiences the problem before building.

02Can we recreate the failure?

Build a safe test rig instead of waiting for a disaster.

03Can we measure improvement?

Choose one metric: time, waste, accuracy, energy, or response.
