Good project to relate mechanical and computer engineering

Afternoon to all!

I am currently volunteering to mentor a undergraduate student in a mini-project. I am a mechanical engineer with a computer science background and she is a computer engineer, which I believe is a good pair. So I would like to relate the two disciplines within the project.

She is a sophomore, so the majority of her knowledge is basic engineering. I'm just looking for a good project to relate mechanical and computer engineering and a project that is a good fit for her current skill level, yet challenging at the same time.

I reviewed the projects listed in the beginning and throughout the thread and decided to post a reply to see if anyone has any other information. All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
