  Thank you for all the details you've posted in your post. It's rare these days to find such posts. 😀
  
  I hope you'll find help here.

  I dwell in rarity of instances!! 😉
  
  Well, I myself get pretty annoyed reading the desperate pleas "I NEED this..." "I WANT that..." and I'm very organized when it comes to work matters (albeit sometimes), hence the mail.
  
  So far no luck though.. 😔

  She is interested in Telecommunication. Ash are you listening? I repeat....She is ........blah blah. Do you think your CubeSat FYP or something similar would be good for her?
  How about a Thermal Image mapping drone which sends the data wireless towards a remote device.
  Or
  A radar.

  Hmm.. *rubs chin*
  
  Its important to take a project that will insure your interest throughout it's duration. Losing interesting half way will really demotivate you, and you'll end up trying to finish it for the sake of passing, rather than fulfilling the targets.
  
  My CubeSat project was a collaboration with mechatronic and aeronautical students, as it was a complete system. smita, if you are interested.. you could just focus on designing a concept prototype of a nano satellite's communication subsystem. You'll need to deal with:
  - Antennas.
  - Digital communications.
  - Microcontrollers.
  
  I also worked on image processing of the on board camera. Since you will take image processing, this might be a good thing to undertake too. You'll need to transfer images taken from the camera, transfer it over the above communication system, then process it on the Ground station a distance away.. using Matlab, for example.
  
  Here's the link to my project -> #-Link-Snipped-#
  
  Im sorry, looks like some of the links to the pics have been broken. If I have time (and not lazy), I'll upload them again 😀
  
  I'll think of more projects later 😀

  I actually happened to look through till the end of your FYP log and... *gulp* are u sure about this? It is indeed a very cool topic, I'll do a bit or reading on it and get back to it you pronto (I have an exam tomoro ughh).
  
  Could you meanwhile, suggest something say, a little less awesome 😀

  Well.. I guess every project is boring on its own. Its up to you to make it awesome 😉
  
  What I was planning to do for my house was set up a environmental telemetry system, with both wireless and wireline devices. Sensors would measure temperature, humidity, pressure, etc at specific places of the house and send the info back to the main computer through a LAN. In addition, power consumption of main appliances are logged.
  
  Perhaps as a project, you can do a concept version of this? Say.. have 2-3 micro controller circuits collecting temperature & humidity. Use Zigbee for wireless, and Ethernet controller boards for LAN (research on the Microchip ENC28J60 module). These boards have their own TCP/IP stack, and communicates with microcontrollers through SPI. Then on the host computer, you can plot the sensor data with a graph or something 😀
  
  You can try going further and have a control system to switch on/off devices directly from the computer. The end target would be to control stuff in the house from the internet 😉
