Factors affecting your choice of project (all obvious but
rarely stated):-
Interest - the most important
factor, since you will spend a fair amount of time on it,
you might as well do something you like, you'll be more
motivated and do better. Moreover, your enthusiasm will
show in the conduct and presentation of your project, which
will affect the following issues more than anything else.
Grades - an impressive project
investigation or implementation will get an impressive
grade.
Jobs - something that might impress
a potential employer in the area you hope to enter, or will
impress people in any industry because of your insight and
implementation.
So, for maximum merit, something should distinguish your
project from the norm, in terms of concept, execution or
application.
