For this project you may choose one that is of interest to you, or you may choose to begin planning for your senior project. When selecting a project, avoid picking one that is either too big or too small. For example, do not decide to build a new stadium for your local sports team (too big) or to plant your summer garden (too small). Select a project that you can relate to and have some experience with. Projects may vary from a few hundred thousand dollars to a few million dollars. Projects should last somewhere between six months and two years. To ensure you are on the right track, be sure to get your instructor’s permission before writing a project charter.
Some successful project ideas:
- The opening of a coffee shop
- Creation of a local social service agency
- A meditation pool and platform
- A redevelopment of a local playground
- Design and installation of a computer network for a small business
