CVs have two purposes.
The first is to get past H.R. gatekeepers to get you to an interviewer. This involved having the right years of experiences, keywords, school, gpa, etc...
The second is to have interesting things to talk about with an interviewer. Putting your school project on your resume won't heart the 1st one. But if it's and interesting project and you would look good talking about it. Then heck yeah put it on your resume.
After 4 years though if it's not a really awesome project you might want to remove it. It could be perceived like you haven't accomplished anything noteworthy recently.
