    Could you not take something that exists on or in a production line already and re-engineer or reverse engineer it and hook it up to a PLC to automate it?

    Does it have to be at an industrial scale, or could you do a lab-based project? I don't think DIT has a pharma course, but there must be chemistry-based projects (PhD or research commercialisation) going on somewhere in the college that could benefit from process control or automation. The scale would obviously be smaller than a typical pharma production line, but you'd have lots of scope for defining your project.
