For any gym goer it is often important to record the specifics of what exercises were done in each session, be that minutes on a bike or similar cardio machine, reps on any of the various weight training machines or cardio circuits on the studio floor.

There are already a number of applications in existence for doing similar (see here), so can these be researched, reviewed and improved upon, or a whole new (better) way of doing this devised.

This project would expect students to do the research, find out what gym goers want and then design-build-test an application (mobile or web) to solve the problem identified.

Food waste is a huge problem in the western world, and as we move into a time of economic uncertainty with the cost of living becoming a real problem for very many, the desire to cut down on food waste is ever more pressing for very many people.

This project involved research into the problem and how technological advances and a variety of technologies could be used to help mitigate or solve the problem.

The project envisages, following on from this research an application or other similar tool can be developed to provide a potential solution for how individuals can minimise their own food wastage.

There is a need for students to be able to book appointments to see their academic staff during their open office hours.

Office hours for staff need to be able to be added to the system, or ideally pulled from Outlook calendars so that students can chose meetings of either 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes duration inside the scope of the staff member's office hours. Alternatively a staff member might like to stipulate the lengh of the meeting and when their office hours are manually.

This project will see you independently build the skills required to develop the software in a web accessible format so that students can book appointments to see academic staff.

Your task it to research into the wide range of options for development of such a system, then DESIGN - BUILD - TEST your solution.

You are using a system to store project suggestions from members of staff in a format that students can access, and so select themselves a final year project. Chris Bowers has put a lot of work into developing this system, but I'm sure there is room to make it even better. This project will involve finding out what improvements users would like to see, implementing as many as possible of them, and evaluating the outcome. It may involve developing a completely new system, or (with Chris Bowers' agreement) improving his system.
