Selected design briefs from earlier years
Projects that have been offered, but not assigned to groups
The usual reason for cancelling a project is that the topic has not attracted sufficient interest from students. It's worth keeping an eye on these, as some topics, or ways of phrasing them, seem less attractive. But fashions change!
- 2019: Flyathlon (2019 version), Robot Death Watch, Visual Pick and Place
- 2018: Citizen Speed Safety, Every Car in Cambridge
- 2017: Energy with Social Conscience, Science for AD2500, Surgery in the Cloud
- 2016: Pocket Brain Surgeon, Reducing food waste with IoT, The Busking Bus-Stop, Safer Chicken from Farm to Fork
- 2015: Reinfection Monitor, Online Identity for the Base of the Pyramid, Audio Websites on Smartphones
- 2014: Locally Augmented Retail, Set Builder, Employability Coach, Dance Practice Assistant, History Scraper
- 2013: Touch screen prototyping at school, Measuring glass-to-glass video-conference latency, The Poet Laureate's web thresholds, Countryside web server, Science exhibit interaction adviser, Personal status server
