1) Choose a number of engineering/scientific calculations/equations (mixture of mechanical and electrical engineering - avoid simple ones) and development of an appropriate Visual Basic application to solve them. Decide on an appropriate design for the GUI application which will be SELF Contained and allow the user to select and run the various calculations that are made available to them via a user -friendly interface.
2) The group should aim to make the application useful for future use as a tool to assist in engineering calculations. Allow the user options to run the calculations multiple times, this will be opportunity for the group to highlight their use of the iteration and selection constructs).
The group will be assessed on the use within their application of the programming constructs and practices discussed in class for:
1. Iteration (loops)
2. Selection
3. Sequence
4. Assignment S. Use of appropriate and meaningful comments In coding files
6. Consistency in the use of naming conventions
7. Appropriate naming and use of form objects and identifiers - (variables, functions, constants, procedures...).
a Use of Multiple Forms
9. Classes
10. Functions
Write-up/Documentation
The write-up/documentation should have a good structure and be fluent and logical. Write-up/documentation should include:
• Design aspects (drawings of form layouts, menu structure/organisation/grouping);
• Copies of all the coding files in the appendix;
• Screenshots of tests carried out with explanations of the functionality being demonstrated;
• Comment on any problems (if any) encountered that were insurmountable or took too long to resolve.
• Planned test data with expected and actual results inclusive of any remedial actions further to the test; (See Moodie for sample test plan)
Write-up/documentation can also include:
• Any code demonstrating anything innovative, which has been attempted or achieved by the team;
• Users Guide;
• Comment on future developments/enhancements for your application.
