the issues regarding students is 

how many are genuinely interested in doing projects? may be 25% in a class.

knowledge  of students in programming will be limited when they are in college only after they get out will they understand better ( this is the case with all courses) by the time the project time is over. 

the top priority of students is to score well in their exam. ( cut off to get into a company)

in any case if they get into a company the company trains them.

Hello All,

Every large scale change starts with awareness. 

I agree

Students should be aware of their freedom to choose their own topics. 

It is not only about topics, freedom in a broader sense is being lost in academics on the whole,

Of course, there needs to be a starting point which is this.

If this issue gets noticed by the academic community, we can push for a circular from the university. For that to happen, this needs to be discussed throughout the community.

What I feel can be done

- Create a pool of project ideas ( there are a lot of Free Software Projects on the

Internet at different stages of development, we need to create a sort of legend for

students ,

- Create a page on the Internet that will serve as a reference to teachers,

so that they are convinced of the scope of the project and how it can do good

to the student, college and most important the "Community".

- Once projects are completed they are uploaded to the website and also

are presented and spoken of at events and Community group meetings

(like ILUG Cochin), and the project will develop wings.

- This will serve as an example and lesson for the other students as well

and then we have a whole lot of useful software created by the students

for the community.

- The Web page also needs information from the normal users and business

people, so that they can put in their requirements into the page so that

it becomes " a self sustaining community".

- Finally let us begin upon, and reiterate on what is the aim of an

academic project in our society and again " the free software community".

Many times students do not know what path they need to take to create

something useful for the society.

We need to draft an open letter to all educational institutions

which states what an academic projects means to the society and how

important is the freedom for students to pursue their own interests and how

they can guide them to the right path.

There are lot of teachers and academicians in the Mailing List. I believe

we can get lot of information from them. :)

Thank You

Regards
