There are two kinds of projects here : 1) An Enterprise application which primarily does not have any intelligence in it, and is purely form driven. The design aspects of an application would be reflected here, and might not require much R&D. 2) A 'research' project - something like Face/Speech recognition et al - now this requires a much deeper understanding of the subject and a significant timeline for research and then the subsequent implementation. ( i remember i started off my final year thesis in mid-second year) Now, it all depends on the aptitude and go-getter attitude of the student to choose either of the above. Though, #1 sounds boring, building a mini-ERP system or an Order-processing workflow is NOT 'trivial'. For #1, i have been thinking of an COMPLETE OfficeSuite - which encompasses Calendar, Booking COnf Rooms , Timecards, project mgmt, defect tracking, Transport mgmt, Employee DB and search, simple HR system etc etc. I am aware of 'independant' applications that cater to the above, but there is NO SINGLE product which caters to above. Though trivial, this would be a boon for small entrprises ; and if the students can afford to 'support' it after college, they can also monetize it by targetting the SMEs - whose market cap is huge. For #2, there are loads and loads - depends on the research interests of the person.
