Creating a Graphical User Interface for a Nuclear Reactor

Experience Required: GUI programing

Old DOS Program Screen Shot

The task is to create a GUI in Matlab, based on an existing GUI written in DOS in 1990s to serve as an educational tool for those who would like to learn more about nuclear power plant operation. The student is expected to copy all the existing visual features of each component in the DOS based GUI and bring them to Matlab (with added personal artistic touch!). The actual computation for each components performance already exists and will be provided separately. No nuclear engineering background is required, however, throughout the process of making the GUI, the student will slowly learn how nuclear power plants operates. The student can develop the GUI in Matlab with his favorite operating system: Windows, Linux or Mac. Interested students should contact Dr. Koroush Shirvan, kshirvan@mit.edu
