Darren:
  I am not quite sure what you are looking for,  but almost every calculus book
written in the last five years has essay topics and extended project ideas
included
at the ends of chapters.  That is one of the big issues with math reformers, and
since most books want a share of that market,...  There are also numerous
books published by the Math Association of America on calculus and collegiate
math enrichment, and I am sure that you would find plenty of ideas there.  The
MAA website is probably www.maa.org, and I suspect that you can reach it
through www.ams.org , the American Math Society website.  In addition, try
browsing through back issues of the Math Monthly, the College Math Journal,
Math Horizons, ...  The resources are there if you invest the time.
