Possible Projects for CIS II - Spring 2021

Here are some possible projects. Again, remember that

• Even if a project has been suggested below, you must get your mentor to agree that you are appropriate for the project.
• You are also free to suggest your own project, with my approval (and your mentor's).
• For potential mentors, here is the project template again.
