+# Mini Projects
+
+Going through many of the tutorials, i realized that a lot of the tutorials lack exciting projects where students can get practical/hands-on experience (or as hands on programming can get). That is why I hope to make some fun project/tutorials where students can actually see how the programming of their code applies to industry work.
+
+Below is a rough brainstorming list of projects that students could work with.
+
+## Project ideas
+### Aerospace
+- Modeling a two stage rocket.
+- Modelling Shockwaves.
+### FEA/CFD simulations
+- Modelling a simple geometry.
+- Modelling a fluid flow/HT Xfer.
+### Automotive
+- Optimization of ...
+- PID Controller
+
+## Fun topics that interest students
+- Aerospace
+	- Aeronautics
+		- Supersonic
+		- Hypersonic
+		- Turbomachinery/Propulsion
+	- Astronautics
+		- Spacecraft trajectory
+		- Combustion/Propulsion
+		- Orbital Mechanics
+- Automotive Engineering
+	- Combustion
+- Advanced Manufacturing
+	- Control Systems
+	- Additive manufacturing (3D printing)
+- Mechatronics
+	- Tuning PID Controllers
+		- Zeigler - Nicholas Method
+		- Cohen - coon Method
+		- Kappa-tau Tuning
+		- Lambda Tuning:
