project suggestions for final year undergraduate, and MSc and MSc DCNDS groups.

There's lots of pages of relevant advice on technical writing and speaking, and while you are thinking between typing, try some worthwhile reading

Virtually all current and past PhD Students and their thesis work are online too. The alarming rate at which students leave is well explained in Shaun Osterman's excellent talk at SIGCOMM 98.
