If you are interested in graduating with the ES section, please come by to discuss possible topics (contact person: Qing Wang). Alternatively, you can do an external project with an embedded-systems oriented company. We do have industrial contacts with open projects, but if are also interested in new collaborations, you may take the opportunity to find a company offering a MSc research topic yourself.
