Thank you Christopher sir for your valuable comments.
I do like the scientific projects and think I can do well there if not the
code reduction because c/c++ and an interest in the respective field are
involved. I am exploring brlcad and discovering that my interests are
increasing. Infact I want to do a project which actually is extremely
useful for the software.
On a personal note, should I apply for an easy or a difficult scientific
project? Where do you think it is easier for a first year student to get a
project. I am ready to learn whatever I might not have experience in.
Also can you briefly tell me what the Automated exploded view tool project
is all about?
Thanks once again.
Regards.
Siddharth Bhatia.
