Week 14: UniKL Engineer's Day 1/2012 24 April 2012

What would life be like without engineers?

“Without engineers, we humans would be naked and sitting 

in the dirt!”

 “Engineering is too important to be restricted only to 

engineers.”  Given the extent to which modern society is 

dependent on all manner of technologies, it is crucial that 

government officials, politicians, businessmen, school 

teachers and the public at large are given a big dose of 

engineering literacy.

“Instead of emphasizing the salaries that our students can 

make, we need to emphasize what students will be able to 

do,” Fortenberry said.

Thank an Engineer: Fun video that spoofs what the world would be like with wireless. Texas Instruments sends a shout out to today's engineers, thanking them for their ingenuity and passion. 

Week 13:Page breeze link with visual basic created.

Objective:
To show how the webpage link with visual basic

Content / Procedure:

• List out the webpage component declaration
• Visual basic programming base on declaration made
• Identify the sequence of the programming in this system.

Result and Analysis:
Previous week, the explanation regarding the way of create the webpage using the page breeze was explane. In the explanation, there had touch the declaration every component in every single web page created. Now, time to explain the method in order to make the web page working together with the interface created using visual basic. First, identify the declaration in the web page then list out to make it easy to program in visual basic. For example, administration access web page(pelajar), there have log in and password. Log in declare as namapr and password declare as  kelaspr. So, in the visual basic the programming as below :

Dim namapr As String, kelaspr As String
Pos = InStr(1, postedData, "namapr=") + 6
namapr = Mid(postedData, Pos + 1, Len(postedData) - Pos)
namapr = Mid(namapr, 1, Pos - 1)
namapr = UnformatString(namapr)
Text1.Text = namapr
Pos = InStr(1, postedData, "&kelaspr=") + 8
kelaspr = Mid(postedData, Pos + 1, Len(postedData) - Pos)
Pos = InStr(1, kelaspr, "&")
kelaspr = Mid(kelaspr, 1, Pos - 1)
kelaspr = UnformatString(kelaspr)
Text2.Text = kelaspr
If namapr = Text5.Text And kelaspr = Text6.Text Then
sckServer(index).SendData FormatPage(GetFile(AddASlash(indexDir) + Text7.Text))
Else
sckServer(index).SendData FormatPage(GetFile(AddASlash(indexDir) + Text8.Text))
End If

Visual basic will 'receive' input from the webpage then VB will continue the process to get the output. For this program, VB will 'receive' input key-in by user. Input log-in and password will process by compare. If the log-in and password same with the existing record then the system will allow the admin to proceed the access.

Conclusions:
The input from the webpage will only process when VB recognize the unique identifier in the programming. Afterward, the visual basic will link to datase created to ensure the input key-in by user same with the data stored.

Week 12: Visual basic 6.0 link with Database created.

Objective:
Link visual basic with microsoft Access data base using ADODC

Content / Procedure:

• Link ADODC in visual basic 
• Browse the database in connection string
• Select the database path
• Complete

Result and Analysis:

In visual basic 6.0 user able to connect the database easily. One of the method is using the ADODC component . To create the ADODC component in the visual basic, drag the icon ADODC in the left pane of visual basic then rename it .Then rename it before go to ADODC properties in the right hand side in visual basic. In connection string, click browser button to select the database path or directory in the server.The database format is .mdb  file, whereby the database in format microsoft database. After link the database, the programming for add and save onto database mustbe made to ensure all the new detail can be create in the database and the detail can be save in database when the system dig up the detail from database. Also the Programming to ensure the system has capability to store the data in databasecreated. Below is the programming created in this system;

*** Text4.Text = "AT+CMGR" Then

aks1 = Mid(Text3.Text, 34, 12)

aks2 = Mid(Text3.Text, 50, 8)

aks3 = Mid(Text3.Text, 59, 8)

aks4 = Mid(Text3.Text, 73, 5)

aks5 = Mid(Text3.Text, 79, X)

Adodc1.Recordset.AddNew

Text5.Text = aks1

Text6.Text = aks2

Text7.Text = aks3

Text8.Text = aks4

Text11.Text = aks5

Text14.Text = Text8.Text

Text15.Text = Text7.Text

Adodc1.Recordset.Save

Conclusions:

Adodc is component to link the visual basic with the database. The programming will make it run to keep all the data or detail to store in the database created before.

Week 11: Build webpage using page Breeze HTML editor

Objective:
Create Notification or warning page

Content / Procedure:

• Create processing page 

• Create access denied page

• Create accepted page

Result and Analysis:

To create a system that using the webpage, it is really need to mediator to notify theuser what is the current status on this system or what is current activity on this system. So, the mediator page is quite imortant things that need to pay attention.So, the mediator page is quite imortant things that need to pay attention.Basically, mediator page only have a message on it to and using the existing template. In this step, only 3 mediator page really need in this system, first is processing page,denied page and accepted page. The processing page contained "processing...please wait" on page. Processing page  will pop up after security page before warden can access and explore the system. For access denied page it contained "Access denied" on page. It will pop up if student or admin access using wrong password. After few second webpage refresh and back to previous page. Accepted page contained with "Accepted!Thank for your complaint" on page and it will pop up after complaint accreditation form finished.

Conclusions:

All mediator page are created to keep user in this system get a feed back from the system It help user to understand what is current "situation" of the system. Mediator page can be define as in between page before the next page.

Mediator Page

1.Processing page

2. Access Denied page

3.Accepted page

Week 10: Create user-warden interface using Visual basic 6.0

Objective:

Design the form layout with coding for complaint interface.

Content / Procedure:

• Create interface in the form layout according the requirement
• Key-in the coding for the form layout
• Compile and start running to simulate

Result and Analysis:

This interface consist of 3 portion are indicator, system menu and hostel block. Indicator portion basically to give a lagendary of color in hostel block portion.The color base on the room status. Room with normal condition is white which is zero complaint received. Color yellow indicate room is under progress to process complaint received. Meanwhile red color is to indicate room status is received complaint and still not process. Next portion is system menu, which is to navigate to other sub menu . From system menu user or warden can logout/quit and go to menu sms setting to create or add new number for maintenance Lastly is hostel block portion that contained all block and room number. The block and room number has been arrange same with the actual to give correct information to user/warden. For example, normal condition is white color telling that room is no complaint and good conditon. If the room receive the complaint, room indicate red color. User/warden will notice this situation then will assign a maintenance to carry on work on it. When maintenace was assign, then user/warden need to acknowledge that particular room the automatically room will indicate yellow color. After finish work by maintenance once again user/warden need to acknowledge room to get normal condition. 

Conclusions:

As conclusion i can said that for this interface is monitor by an Admin(warden) to notify the complaint. From here also, warden would be  able to know current status every block and every room. Warden can take action effectively base on information give by this interface.
