Project Description

Back to Top The importance of a graphical user interface in programming is paramount in being successful in the business industry. This project incorporates GUI techniques with other tools that you have learned about in this class.

Here is your assignment: You work for a Landscape architect. They have asked you to be a part of their team as they need a computer programmer, analyst, and designer to aid them in calculating engineering specification. Specifically, you have been assigned to the Pools, Hot Tubs, and Spas section of their landscaping team. Your skills will be needed in creating a GUI program that calculates engineering specifications.

This assignment is due in Week 7, but it is suggested that you begin working on the project in Week 5, which should give you ample time to complete the project. You will find that all the lectures, Quick Test Programs, and Lab assignments will prepare you for the Course Project.

Analysis and Design (Due Week 4)

Back to Top In Week 4, you will complete the analysis and design for the project. You will use the information described in the required reading to create the Analysis and Design documentation. You will create the following items.

  1. Request for New Application
  2. Problem Analysis
  3. List and Description of the Requirements
  4. Interface Storyboard/Drawing
  5. Design Flowchart or Pseudocode

The Analysis and Design document will be a single MS Word document, which contains all descriptions and drawings. See the grading rubric below for the Analysis and Design document, due in Week 4.

Item Points Description
Request for New Application 2.5 A table containing: date of the request, name of the requester, the purpose of the request, the title of the application, brief description of the algorithms used in the application, notes about the request, and finally, the approval section.
Problem Analysis 2.5 Analyze the problem to be solved and write in a few words what is the problem and what is being proposed to solve the problem.
List and Description of Requirements 5 A description of the items that will be implemented in order to construct the proposed solution.
Interface Storyboard / Drawing 5 A picture or drawing of what the application will look like; must include the image of each section of the application in detail.
Design Flowchart or Pseudocode 5 A sketch of the flow of the application or the pseudocode of the application.

User’s Manual (Due Week 7 along with the Course Project program)

Back to Top Your actual Course Project and User’s Manual are due at the end of Week 7, however, it is strongly recommended that you start your project in Week 5 to avoid many last minute issues.

In Week 7 you will be required to submit a User Manual as well as your Java code. The User Manual can be a simple Word document, with screenshots, that explains how to run your application. Your mark will depend both on the program quality, and the quality of the User’s Manual.

Here are some more detailed guidelines about the User’s Manual

  • It does not need to be long, probably not more than 10 pages, including screenshots.
  • Write at the expected user’s level, not too technical.
  • Detail all the functionality that the application provides. Best, structure your presentation top-down way.
  • For each function, show what is its purpose and sample execution, with a screenshot.

Minimum Requirements for the Java Program(s) (Due Week 7)

Back to Top This example would be the bare minimum to obtain a passing grade (no more than a 70%).

After each calculation, the collected information and the calculated volume will be saved into a file. You will then add a function to retrieve the input and calculation history from the file and display it on the screen.

Sample Extended Requirements

Back to Top The following screenshots provide a sample of what is possible and could lead to a project worth the maximum grade of 100%. Something to think about! Do not think this is what you have to do to get the maximum number of points. It is just a sample! You are only bound by your programming ability. Please do not try and do more than you are capable of. Think, plan, design and code YOUR project. This is your opportunity to show off your skills!
