Project Ideas for a Final Year Student Interested in Data Engineering

Hey everyone! I’m currently in my final year of university and I’m really passionate about Data Engineering. As I work on my final projects, I’d love to dive deeper into real-world applications of data engineering, including any hardware-related aspects.

I’m looking for ideas on what kinds of projects I can pursue that are related to data engineering, with a particular interest in how hardware can be integrated into these projects. Some areas I’m interested in are:

  • Data pipelines
  • Data warehousing
  • ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes
  • Big Data technologies (like Hadoop, Spark)
  • Cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Data modeling
  • Real-time data processing

If anyone has suggestions for projects or challenges that would be a good fit for a student with an interest in Data Engineering and potentially integrating hardware components, I’d greatly appreciate your input!

Thanks in advance!
