Personally, I found projects involving computer algebra, (crude) natural 
language parsing, and programming language implementation quite exciting. 
(This was way back when I took a course based on SICP.)

I'd like to see more projects like those.  Today I'm told either that 
that's too hard or that it's not exciting to students today.
