First off, thanks for all of the suggestions, all have been good ideas, but I have to lean more towards some over others because of my interest in cosmology and also some experience in radiation/particle physics.
Thanks Mosheh Thezion for your suggestions, more are welcome. I will consider some of them, specifically the Farnsworth Fusion Reactor.

I like the suggestion, but I think it would be better in a different setting, as Enzp said. This will be in front of Physics geeks so I don't think they would like it as much as other topics.

The class is senior level(designed to be the last class before graduation) and the audience of the presentation will consist of six professors and the only other student taking the class. I like this suggestion, it deals with astronomy and particle physics, both of which are my specialties.

This is another suggestion that intrigues me, I was thinking about doing something with cosmology and I could probably use this suggestion.
Also, thanks for the suggestions to use Power Point. I plan to do so.
Again, thanks for all the suggestions, and I welcome more suggestions since I still have a while before I must choose a topic. Then I have all semester to research.
