Need some hardware/embedded systems related project ideas

Hi everyone,

I'm an Electronics and Computer Engineering student looking for a hardware or embedded systems project for my final year.

I want something that's:

-Socially relevant

-Innovative

-Has real-world applications

I'm particularly interested in projects that solve actual problems or explore emerging technologies.

If you've built a project you're proud of, know of interesting research that can be turned into a prototype, or have ideas that stand out during placements, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks in advance!

Started a Cloud/DevOps/SRE Community Today… Already 10 Members Joined! 🚀

Hi everyone,

I'm a Cloud/DevOps Engineer and for the past few months I've been thinking about one question:

Why do so many students complete DevOps courses but still struggle to crack Cloud/DevOps interviews?

After talking to a lot of students and freshers, I realized the problem isn't a lack of courses—it's a lack of practical experience.

Most people know the commands.

Very few have actually:

  • Deployed applications on AWS or GCP
  • Built CI/CD pipelines
  • Managed Kubernetes workloads
  • Debugged production issues
  • Worked with observability tools
  • Experienced what an SRE actually does

So today I decided to start a Discord community for people who genuinely want to learn Cloud, DevOps, and SRE.

I wasn't expecting much, but 10 people joined within the first few hours, which motivated me to keep building it.

The plan is to cover topics like:

  • Linux & Networking
  • Git & GitHub
  • AWS & GCP
  • Docker & Kubernetes
  • Terraform
  • Jenkins & GitHub Actions
  • GitOps (ArgoCD)
  • Prometheus & Grafana
  • Loki & OpenTelemetry
  • Apache Kafka
  • Trivy & SonarQube
  • Production troubleshooting
  • Resume reviews
  • Mock interviews
  • Career guidance

Rather than creating another recorded course, I want to keep the batches small and interactive, with live sessions, hands-on labs, real projects, and plenty of time for questions.

Just to be transparent: this mentorship will have a small fee. The reason isn't to maximize enrollments—it's to keep the group committed and small enough that I can personally help everyone.

The Discord community is where I'll be sharing updates, the roadmap, and answering questions.

👉 Discord: https://discord.gg/tMDyQ8879

I'd also love your feedback:

  • What do you think most DevOps courses are missing?
  • If you were learning today, what would you want a mentor to teach?
  • What projects helped you the most in interviews?

I'm hoping to build something that actually prepares people for real Cloud/DevOps/SRE roles instead of just handing out another certificate.

Looking forward to your thoughts! 🚀
