If the purpose of this is to get you into the school of engineering, then blow them away by writing a paper on camless engines utilizing an electronic valve setup allowing the cars computer to determine the most efficient timing and fuel usage based on conditions/driver input instead of one set method.
If you want to go for the A+ add to that a small electric motor that would attach to the front main pulley or attached to the fly wheel ala starter in order to restart the car by opening the valves to release compression, spinning the flywheel with the electric motor then start dumping spark and fuel into it to restart it. Basically a bump start, using an electric motor instead of a starter.
The advantage, you can keep the cam shaft rotating, perhaps while still injecting oil to keep the engine cool and still have systems like the a/c and alternator spinning and still working without burning any fuel.
Yes it is infinately more complicated than what I suggested, but thats why there are enginers out there like you and I ... LOL
