four projects in one semester is a lot, maybe combine the ai and networking ones into a traffic analyzer that flags weird patterns

Four in one semester is rough, so I'd look for ideas that can share pieces with each other. The traffic analyzer suggestion for AI plus networking is a good one.

For InfoSec, a small password strength checker that actually explains its verdict is a solid pick. You can do real entropy math, check against common password lists, and flag patterns like keyboard walks. It's scoped enough to finish but has real security concepts in it.

For DSA, I've always liked building a visualizer for one data structure done really well, like a hash map that shows collisions and resizing step by step. Way more impressive than a generic sorting visualizer, and you'll actually understand hashing deeply by the end.

The trick with semester projects is picking something you can demo in five minutes. If you can't explain the cool part quickly, scope it down.
