If completely developing a fully functional and optimized E-commerce site isn't good enough, I don't know what is. I can understand how it may not necessarily be innovative (though it could have innovative features), but designing such a site would prove to anyone I know that you have a great knowledge of the language the site was created in.
As for original ideas, good luck. You'll come to find that anything you can think to do has already been done. You're best bet may be to look around some sites on the 'Net and try to vastly improve what has already been done. Projects that find solutions? That could be anything from a Weight Loss Tracking System to an advanced encryption/decryption algorithm.

I will start next autumn my third year of Computer Science studies. I have to carry out a large programming project in this final year. These projects are supervised and assessed via a dissertation and an oral presentation. The project alone counts for 20% of my whole degree, so it is quite important. A variety of project proposals have been made available for our consideration already but they all look very dull and boring. We are also encouraged to come up with our own project ideas. The onus is on us to define the problem boundaries, to investigate possible solutions, and to present the results verbally, in writing and (possibly) to demonstrate in action. They like having projects that find solutions (or improve a current sloution) real life problems. This summer, I am doing an internship in a Swiss IT company, working on a Content Management System implemented with PHP and MySQL. This will obviously give me some valuable experience with these languages (I sort of already learn them quite well...) and most of our tuition in Uni is based on Java. If you can think of an interestin final year project involving hese languages, it would be very kind to share it with me... In order to obtain a very high mark, the project needs to be challenging. For example, having an e-commerce web-site using a Database is seen as a "weak", non-innovative project...
