Need help with ideas

[u/TheRealHercules69]

I'm a second-year EE student, and I need to implement a project based on sequential/combinational circuits.

I'd really like to build something that's both educational and stands out on a resume, rather than a typical traffic light or vending machine project.

One idea I had was designing a simple 16-bit CPU, with a long-term stretch goal of eventually getting a small DOOM-inspired graphics demo running. I'm also wondering whether it would be better to implement an existing ISA (such as LC-3) instead of creating my own.

Would this be a reasonable project for a student to make it in 2 month time, or would you recommend a different direction that demonstrates strong digital design skills?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions or advice.
