Simple Mini Project Ideas for Engineering Students

Engineering projects themselves are always in demand especially those involving the manufacture of electronics. While learners use it to build up his or her performance, enthusiasts engage in it for fun as they meddle around with technology. There are certain expectations from professionals, which are a whole different story all together. Updated Please find below a list of more than mini-projects.

1. This is a versatile dual voltage rechargeable torch light.

The design of this circuit is to form a new topology with AC voltage input while its power factor is kept well; the efficiency output is supplied well for the battery; and its service life is prolonged.

2. Line Follower Robot

To kick things off, we have our own list of favorites here. It explains how to design a line follower robot without microcontroller thus this is helpful for those who have no knowledge in electronics engineering. Following is an example where this robot uses some sensors to follow a particular colour. It is a very easy project and can be done in a class as a class assignment. That lays the basis for constructing your proprietary behaviour-based (= simulated) robot.

3. Hand Video Game

Many of us still remember how we used to play space invaders on old black and white phones. Instead of those what about getting some of those. This next project takes us back to the days when we used to have it. That is enough with the history of the onetime popular game, let’s get to design the same using electronics. The exciting part, once you are done designing, you are able to plays.

4. Fastest Finger First Project

This is the one that colleges’ students would be to design and implement in college competitions. This fastest finger project provides a corresponding number to all the buzzers where the 7-segment display show the number of the team that should press the buzzer first. Based around a PIC microcontroller, this is just something that we would all love in competitions as well.

5. Food Ordering System

After that, we have a restaurant menu ordering system. Every time you eat out you have a problem in dealing with waiters and waitresses. Language is now well understood to be an illustration of the barriers. New menu items and types of confusing names continue to be listed. How about the next time you go to a restaurant, you are served with an electronic menu. I know that excites you. You can build one and pitch it to a nearby restaurant owner you want to have a talent acquisition partner.

6. Thermostat for Fridge

Thermometer is a basic component used to monitor the energy conditions of a system and adjust to a specific point. It is incorporated in air conditioners, room heaters and refrigerators and other home appliances. While some of the retail refrigerator does come with self-contained thermostats, the given mini projects idea is quite simple to construct with the additional advantage of toggling on and off the appliance once certain set temperatures have been reached.

 7. A DIY power bank for smartphones

As the use of these technology-based products increases so does the need for appropriate source of power in addition. The next project is a plan for a charging system for smart phones and it calls for a power bank. The circuit consists of two integrated modules and lithium ion battery. The first package is known as lithium-ion battery charger and the second package is called DC DC boost converter.

9. Sequential Timer for DC Motor in Control Engineering

Many industrial operations are characterized by the need to rotate the motors in the forward and reverse directions for needed amounts of time. A good example is the automated bottle-filling plant. The stop time of the motor is adjusted according to the time taken to fill the bottle and the time left before another bottle arrives.

Conclusion

This blog is the attempts to discuss simple project ideas applicable for engineering students and being helpful and inspiring in the scope of electronics, can be considered as capable to contribute to the problem-solving exploration of the engineering field. These projects not only improve the technological knowledge but also the development of growth mind-set and creativity and the procedure of solving problems. Starting from constructing a portable rechargeable torch light to developing a charger for smartphones every project is a step towards self-creation in terms of engineering knowledge. Additionally, projects can be completed within these contexts where one can develop usable solutions to existing problems, for instance, enhancing the restaurant ordering service or designing mechanized systems for industrial methods. In the end, those mini-projects make the students to work practically with the theories they learn and can lead the future developments in the field’s technology and engineering.
