Project Templates

The project templates can be find here. Each project team is expected to follow the same template for their projects. The templates will be briefly discussed in the next class period.

Possible Software Engineering Class Projects

Project 1: Interview experience sharing website

Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft, Google conduct thousands of interviews each year. Their interview process is very intimidating for prospective job seekers. Create a website that allows people to share their interview experiences.

Project 2: News phone application

In recent years, smart phones have gained popularity. It is predicted that in the next few years most of the users will access internet on their mobile devices. Create a smart phone application (iPhone OS or Android OS) for a popular news website (such as cnn.com). It should provide "almost" same amount of information as its non mobile counterpart. It is always a challenge to develop an "app" version of a website.

Project 3: Location based phone application

Location based applications are gaining acceptance amongst smart phone users due to availability of location positioning technologies. Create a smart phone application that allows users to "check in" to places around their current location. The application should be modeled as a game that gives users an incentive to use the application on a continued basis.

Project 4: Tag Cloud application

Your job is to create an application that generate a "tag cloud" from data supplied to it. A tag cloud is a way of providing navigation for unstructured information. The application should expose an interface (or a service) that the users would use to generate a tag cloud for their data. The application's design should allow its output to be embedded on a website.

Project 5: Ecommerce phone application

Many commerce transactions are moving to mobile domain. Your job is to design a ecommerce application for buying computers. So, imagine an iphone/android app for www.dell.com.

Project 6: Stock information sharing website

Your job is to create a website that allows user to discuss their viewpoints on various stocks trading on stock exchanges. The users should be able to share their portfolio for others to view. The website should be able to track the portfolio performance of users and rank them.

Project 7: Location based coupons

Your job is to create a mobile app that provides the users with deals/coupons based on his/her location. The coupons should be available inside the app whenever the user invokes it from a particular location.

Project 8: Barter exchange system

On sites such as Craigslist and many others, it is very common for users to barter the things that they want for the things that they have. However, bartering can be difficult because, even if users are willing, the chances of finding a mutually beneficial exchange are low. However, if a chain of bartering is assembled, there is a higher probability that everybody's desires can be satisfied. Your job is to design a website to make a chain of bartering out of the items of several users. The system will allow users to register and post their acceptable barters. The system will then attempt to make a chain backward from what they have to what they want. For instance, suppose there are three users: (1) one with a PS3 who wants a car stereo, (2) the second with a car stereo who wants a TV and (3) the third with a TV who wants a PS3. The system would chain together these users (1<->3, 1<->2) and then notify all of them of the potential exchange. When they agree, it will remove their barters from the system. The system should be web-based and can be done in any environment with which you are comfortable.

Project 9: SmartBus pointer

If you find yourself having to take the bus in an unfamiliar location, it would be very convenient if you could get all the necessary information on your mobile phone. Develop a smart phone application that uses your GPS location to determine nearest bus stop, the appropriate bus number determined by your input destination and chosen route, time for arrival of the bus, the bus pass fee (calculated according to chosen route) and nearest location for getting change.

Project 10: Bus pass purchase

Develop an application that allows you to purchase a bus pass on your mobile phone. You can show proof of purchase at time of boarding either on your phone in the form of a receipt or as a token number.

Project 11: Facebook application for musicians

Many musicians rely on word of mouth to get hired for gigs or to get introduced to bands. Social networking sites provide a platform to publicize themselves to the right audience easily. Develop a facebook application that allows musicians to build or upload multimedia CVs containing info of their skills, record, references, booking information, etc and videos or recordings of themselves playing. The application should also allow a member to view CVs of other members and tag their CVs to allow searching for a particular musician. Members should also be able to post advertisements or announcements/invitations for their events.

Project 12: Sale search

Develop a website where members can update information about yard sales or store discounts. Once a particular announcement has been confirmed (for instance by a given number of upvotes or confirmation by an administrator), the information should be sent by the website to mobile phones of members who choose to subscribe to phone alerts. The website should provide a format for uploading information or it may provide a form to be filled in by the informant requiring information of sale address, description of items, amount of sale and duration of sale, etc.

Project 13: Trip planner

When planning a trip, you rarely have the time to keep track of weather forecasts or traffic reports for any changes. Develop a website where you can enter your itinerary for a trip. The website monitors weather forecast services and traffic congestion updates relevant to your trip and informs you of any changes on your mobile phone.

Project 14: NeighborhoodCar

Carpooling helps conserve fuel and the environment. However the effort required to plan a carpool for non-routine trips makes people miss opportunities to share a vehicle. Build a website that aids a neighborhood or a group of friends carpool efficiently. The website should allow people to make groups allowing an administrator to grant membership to a particular group. Whenever someone plans to make a trip and is willing to carpool, they can input their itineraries (including their preferred route), the website can suggest possible car pooling options using information that other members may have entered.

Project 15: Shopping planner

Develop a website where you can give a list of all the items that you intend to buy. It can suggest all nearest places where you can get the things on your list with the most affordable prices. Based on the pricing information, the system can provide an optimal route to cover the least distance while visiting all locations.

Project 16: Deals aggregator/alert generator

Develop a website that can give information for all the deals available for a particular item. If you specify the resources where you would like the search to be performed, it will pull information from those websites only. Otherwise, information from all available resources will be provided. It should also give the user the option of requesting an alert if an item matching his/her required specifications becomes available.
