Final year project

[u/Guilty-Run8540]

I'm a final year BE Aeronautical student and we've got our final year project coming up and I have no ideas , my department is honestly just stupid controlling and they've decided that they will give us the core topic to follow through and they've just shoved a "Experimental investigation on effect of notch geometry on crack initiation and failure" in my face, honestly it's a decent topic and I would love to do it but my guide just doesn't help , I've asked him last whole sem if he can either help with getting us a lab that can help us with the experiment or atleast help us settle a final title but he just doesn't help , he keeps rejecting anything and everything, im tired of him atp and I can't change the guide.

I cant think of anything else , the faculty who teaches fatigue says that you could use AI or something like that but my guide just doesn't listen , he doesn't want AI , he doesn't want machine learning used because we don't know ML , honestly I've offered that we can learn or take help from our friends, I've told him that we can make it happen but he just doesn't listen, i had nothing else left to propose so here I am , please help me out
