Final Year Project Ideas for Software Engineering

First thing first

When it comes to software development activities, it is necessary for those who wish to become software engineers to work on their projects. Developing real-world projects is the best way to hone your skills and use your theoretical knowledge into practical knowledge.

You will need to familiarize yourself with new tools and technologies while working on a computer science project. The more you learn about edge development tools, environments, libraries, the more will be your test rating for your projects. The more you experiment with ideas for different computer science projects, the more you will find out.

The ideas for the Technical Science project include the design and construction of various products and solutions designed for the application. So, if you would like to know about a few ideas for the Computer Science project, this article is what you need!

What is the purpose of the final year project?

The final year of engineering consists of two semesters in which students are asked to prepare a module that reflects their learning across all their academics. This year is very important as skills are tested with judges based on performance. Students are starting to apply to various companies this year and it is important that they showcase their talent through the project being implemented. Companies test students based on this project so, in the last year collecting projects becomes an important task.

How do I choose a final year project title?

Students are often confused when choosing a final year project, so they may end up choosing the most common or the most boring. Last-year students are encouraged to choose their projects carefully, as this will be reflected in their job search profile. Let's see how students can find ideas in choosing projects.

Understand which programming language helps you, this will make your project easier.
Look for ideas, something you feel can be easily done using technology.
Focus on the project at hand rather than looking at someone else. At this stage, students are distracted from the ultimate block of their mind, make sure you do your project with full focus.
See the internet for ideas. You can take and work on recent projects, a few of which are listed below.
Write down your ideas, and check out a few. This will help you to understand your ability.

This list of computer science and software final year project ideas for students and is suitable for beginners, and those just starting out with Python or Data Science in general. These computer science project ideas will do everything you need to be successful in your career as a software engineer.

so let's start

1- Online-Assessment proctoring 

Description:

This project will focus on the need to develop a web based application that can monitor the activities of students during an online assessment. Various modalities of data would be explored to find out the best one that helps to achieve the most accurate results. Video data from webcam as well as the screenshots after a fixed interval of time in milliseconds would be analysed to track the Eye Gaze of the user for an efficient suspicion detection. Also the lips would be monitored for talking detection. The application would keep record of all the suspicious activities during the course of online assessment for each student in a database.

Application Area:
Computer Vision/Video analysis
Skill Required:
Good Programming skills

2- Scalable Automated Assessment System for Programming Assignments 

Description:

There is a need for final year students to incorporate cheaper scalable solution that can support the automated assessment of hundreds of students. For this purpose we require smart algorithms and concurrent programming.

Application Area:
Computer Vision/Video analysis
Skill Required:
Good Programming skills

3- Game based learning 

Description:

Unified Modelling Language (UML) has become the standard language for the design and analysis of object-oriented software concepts. Number of tools are available that support design with UML, But they only provide the facility to draw UML diagrams and generate code from the UML model. So far no tool provides the environment to learn different concepts of UML. Exploration games are also introduced to guide the software developers to choose the best design for given requirements. But they are not provided the step by step learning of different UML diagrams. The aim of this project is to develop the concepts of UML by providing the learning environment. We are going to develop an educational application called “UML guide for beginners”. The application will make the developer learn the basics and cores of Unified Modelling Language. To maintain the interest of user/developer we will be using gamification approach (use of game elements for educational purpose). This gamified experience will have perpetual impact on the user/developer. In this way we believe that the modelling deficiencies will be raised above and there shall be no need of reworking.

23- Speech Therapy for Speech Challenged Children of Pakistan 

Description:

Children who are born with serious hearing disorders don’t develop speech abilities, even though their speech related physiological aspects are healthy. As a result they face a big challenge in the long run as far as their communication skills are concerned. Many opportunities available for ordinary members of society become out of reach for them. When such children are given hearing aids they face a very interesting problem. Since they had not heard and processed speech so they don’t know how to speak. They need specialized training to learn to speak. It is a very frustrating process; each word has be repeated thousands of time. This training is imparted by trained speech therapists. The job of a speech therapist is very challenging and as such there is a high rate of turnover in this field. Moreover in Pakistan the number of properly trained speech therapists is far less than what is needed. As a result a large number of children are unable to receive the professional training that they need to be able to speak properly. With the decline in cost of computing hardware it is now possible for the less fortunate ones to afford basic hardware, the problem is software. Almost all of speech therapy related software is proprietary and quite expensive, especially for those living in underdeveloped countries. Moreover language is also a problem. Majority of the proprietary speech therapy software is meant to teach English, which is not our mother tongue. This project is intended to fill this gap.
