Third year project

Third year project

Third year project

(OP)
Hi, undergrad civil  engineer here about to start third year in university. I have been provided with a list of projects and need to choose 10, in order of preference. My interests are land/transport. There are many projects to choose from that include the learning of mathematical calculator on a computer but I have scratched these out as I am not interested in learning how to use this calculator.

I have selected a few here, I need help in choosing the right project for myself and what project will look good on a C.V and help me in my future years.

-A cross section analysis of steel usage in the contruction sector of the less developed countries
-The Strength of Stacked Beams
-Experimental determination of the failure surface for a clay soil by triaxial testing
-smart water grids
-design and analysis of Bamboo joints
-Investigation into the use of concrete in marine renewable energy applications
-Foundations/moorings of marine energy devices.
-Applying Nanotechnology to Water Treatment
-Strength testing and uses of Pykrete
-Composites in the Construction Industry
-Geothermal Power Installations
-Design of a stainless steel platform
-Land Reclamation
-Critical review on nanotechnology and membrane technology
-Also there are many projects that include water treatement, such as waste wate, desalination processes, designing water treatement tanks etc

Thanks~

NOT A HOMEWORK POST, just need advice~

RE: Third year project

I now which ones(s) I like - which one do you??

Have fun - any project would be a help...

RE: Third year project

majority of these projects have absolutely nothing to do with land/transport which is your interest. Most of these would not help you get a job in land or transport. Not sure what a "land" job is, but I am speculating it might be land development or land surveying? There are some structural topics if you are interested in bridges they might be useful. Why not pick something more in line with your interests?

there are none for transportation, only land reclamation and the clay triaxial test. There is a list of projects which they have given me and I have narrowed it down to that list. There were a few on nanotechnology, aerodynamics, vortex shedding ect.

@Mike, I like the concrete mooring/foundation, pykrete sounds interesting and also the land reclamation. Just looking for advice on the best one to go with out of that list I guess

RE: Third year project

Since none of them match your interest, pick the best professor. I picked a transportation topic and got stuck with a Geotech professor. He knew nothing about my topic and couldn't fight my corner as a result when the moderator told him to lower my mark. Ended up with an upper second instead of a first.
