Getting the heck out of engineering school while he's still young!
For some reason, this year I'm getting mail directly from the "help me I have a month to get my senior project done" crowd. I always start by pointing them to their prof/teaching assistant/tutor/whatever, but it's hard to decide just how much help to give these guys (none is too little IMHO, but I certainly don't want to spend _much_). (It's a bit too late to point out that it's a bit too late to be starting -- but then, senior projects are about learning things like when to start, I suppose).
There needs to be a generic "So you need to finish your senior project" FAQ out there.
