My ideas for thesis papers for under grads

I have lots of ideas regarding students' projects, some I really thought about while others just came pass my mind. Here are some of them:

1. Water bill counter-checker
This involves a device and a software. The idea is to check the actual consumption of a household versus the billed consumption. Maybe a device could be installed in all of the water outlets in the house, including the toilet flush, to check how much water are discharged and if it reflects properly on the billing. The goal is not to bill the consumer since water districts add other fees in the bill. The goal is to just check if the amount of water recorded in the billing is close to the actual amount discharged. This can help check if there are tapped connections or leaks that the household is unaware of.

2. Street lights auto switch
I've seen some street lights that are still on even thought it's already noon time. What a waste of electricity! So I thought, why not have an automatic switch that turns them on at 5:30pm and turns them off at 5:30am? Of course a manual override should still be possible.

To be continued...
