Course Projects - Part 2

Software Projects
This family was intended to provide the students who make them with experience in programming, meanwhile, the students who use it will have the opportunity to use a tool that helps them solve their homework problems as well as checking their results. The students' choices were:

1. MATLAB project. (Blog)(Slide-show)In this project, the students were intended to produce a graphical user interface application that is built using MATLAB for the purpose of solving the course problems. They spent a lot of time learning the tools of the MATLAB environment, but their product came up in a good way.
2. Visual Basic project. In this project, the students were intended to make a similar project to that of the MATLAB one using the Microsoft Visual Basic application. The project did not come out in a good way since the team did not spend enough time learning the tools!
3. MAXIMA project. In this project, the students decided to use a symbolic manipulator to provide the problem solving tool. MAXIMA provided a great platform for that project, however, the outcome was disappointing!

In general, the software project family did not come up with the full outcomes intended from it. In the coming semester, better plans will be created for the project development, and better outcomes will be expected.
