A list of electrical mini projects with simple hardware circuits is listed here. Mini projects generally require less effort than major projects and a few among the list can be extended to a main project for electrical engineering.
We may discuss them in detail in another post. We could use the concepts in electrical engineering in innovative projects.
Electronics mini-projects are something different from electrical mini-projects.
What are the differences?
We are not focusing on embedded system projects here. Even though a few projects are based on embedded systems, most of the projects are planned to cover the concepts in electrical engineering.

Conclusion
We have listed a few electrical mini-projects for engineering students. The listed projects can be extended to the main projects also.
You can find more than one project from each topic listed here. For example, consider the topic “An automatic induction motor starter”.
The starter could be of various kinds –a starter may be developed for a single-phase induction motor or three-phase induction motor, the starter may be star-delta, direct online, etc.
So, the number of project topics increases as you think about it more
Key points
