What the hell kind of course is this?
This course is GP2(Graduation Project 2) for mechanical Engineering.

In Graduation project 1 we achieved many things. Our objective is to customize a tool path for mechanical elements such as spur gears , helical gears.

GP1 was graded as follows:

40% of the grade with the instructor
20% of the grade 5 weekly presentations with the advisor
40% with the final examination comunitee which consists of 3 examiners
two of them are from the mechanical engineering department and the other one is from electrical engineering department.

One question that was asked by the examination comunitee is " How can you say you developed a program and all what we can see is an excel file ? "

In GP2 our instructor told us the feedback he got from the examing comunitee. We are 3 people in a group. My task is to accomplish the Visual Basic part so that when were asked the same question again we defend ourselves. My colleuges are doing their tasks as agreed, where one of my collegues is still looking for applications of spur gears(DC motor , RPM , etc) to show them the use of what were doing. Our instructor gives us hints since its our project and we divide things among us. Since were mechanical engineers well do whatever it takes to finish things on time.

I hope im making sense to you :-)
