ELEG $1304-$ Capstone Project #$1$ Engineering Calculations

Objective:

Develop a simple tool that can calculate various engineering calculations, given

the formulas provided below.

Background:

Engineers across different disciplines often need to use some standard

engineering calculations. Many calculations can be done manually. However, it

would be handy to have a program that can calculate the most used formulas in a

given engineering discipline. This program requires the calculation of at least

eight $(8)$ engineering calculations chosen from the attached list.

Required Knowledge:

$-$ Basic understanding of unit conversion ratios. Basic understanding of

mathematics required for formulas. For example, length conversion is to

convert from miles to kilometers, kilometers to miles, feet to meters, meters to

feet, etc.

$-$ Basic introduction to C$++$ programming.

$-$ This project requires the use of library

$-$ Student should demonstrate the use of functions to perform the calculations

Note: Students must allow for at least $8$ different calculations in their program.

Choice of engineering calculations is up to each student.

Inputs:

$-$ Engineering Calculation Type Selection$**$: The user will choose the type of

calculations $($e$.$g$.,$ Velocity, Area of a Circle, etc. $).$

$-$ Value : The user will input any value required for the calculation

Outputs:

$-$ Calculated Value: The program will display the value in the required unit.

Tasks:

$1.$ Research & Collection:

$-$ Compile a list of common engineering calculations.

$-$ Understand the formulas or ratios needed.

$-$ Choose at least eight $(8)$ engineering calculations

$2.$ Design & Layout:

$-$ Plan the program's flow and user interaction sequence.

$-$ Decide how users will select engineering calculations and exit the program

when finished.

$3.$ Implementation:

$-$ Code the main menu for the engineering calculation selection.

$-$ Implement individual functions or modules for each engineering calculation.

$-$ Ensure accurate conversion calculations.

$4.$ Testing:

$-$ Validate the program's outputs using known calculation values.

$-$ Test how the program handles incorrect inputs or unexpected user actions.

$-$ Test how program handles invalid input for the selection of the engineering

calculation.

$5.$ Documentation:

$-$ List all the engineering calculations that you use in the program with their

formulas.

$-$ Provide a user guide detailing how to navigate and use the program.
