My guess is these are final year students at engineering colleges doing the final year "project" that is mandatory to secure the degree. These folks (i was one of them too) never really have a chance to think and do stuff on their own till this project, and then all of a sudden you are required to do something interesting all by yourself to secure a degree. Most of them end up doing really horrible projects (but no one really cares about them actually, so they do get a degree after all). For some, this is when things start to turn around for good :)
