The senior project is designed to bring together a lot of different class topics together into a single project as you could expect in a real world scenario.

There is a collection of potential projects to choose from that have been pre-vetted to make sure that different classes information will be collected and used. If you have your own idea which you would like to use, you may bring that idea to your instructor.

A good topic must be group based, either working with outside groups and/or multiple people within the course. It should include topics such as databases and custom data structures, programming of one or more languages, and a way to present the data and input/output.
