> The Thesis should have to do something with power electronics or motor controllers
1) Variable speed motor controller with 99.999% efficiency.
Toss in words like "High efficiency electric car cleans up the environment with less pollution."
2) LabVIEW RT program to keep the power grid up when one area has a problem.
Use DAQ to isolate the problem and LV-RT to disconnect the offender within
0.1 seconds (or whatever those power guys can give).
(Key points: prevent massive blackouts, increase homeland security.)
