For example, do not decide to build a new stadium for your local sports team (too big) or to plant your summer garden (too small). Here are some successful past project ideas.

• A charity event for a local social service agency
• Design and installation of a computer network for a small business

Provide an outline of your proposed project to your instructor for approval
