What about
"Stocks Vs Customer Satisfaction - A Treatise on the Various Shades of the Colour Blue"?
But seriously, I can't really offer a line for the project but I would keep the content non proprietary.
Lon, for example. Or maybe BACnet.....gnomethang

Then do it on something completely different.

Right now there are alot of proposals out there on how to go about AMR. It's interesting to me NONE of those solutions involve bacnet. NONE.
You could also investigate a company like Mc D's which seem to be moving toward total automation, from kitchen equipment to the BAS. Potentially good case study there.

What the hell is AMR? Can't be talking about data collecting. Seen it as ascII and modbus only.

Automated Meter Reading
Maybe the kid can check out the appointed "metering babe" Elena Turanscaia at metering.com and see what she has to say about AMR.

That's kinda boring.... The initial "wow" factor disappears quickly. I take it this is a small project?
I suppose you could go into interference issues and costing....

For my little brothers senior project in Electrical Engineering we created an automated bar. It was really cool and received the wow factor from his teachers.
