1.0 Coursework Title
Electrical Installation and Inspection Management System (EIIMS)

2.0 The Coursework Overview
INSPECT-RICALS is a small electrical contracting company whose principle business area
concerns domestic electrical wiring and installation. The firm mainly focuses upon
condominium developers and owners, providing an installation and inspection service to
ensure the safety of all electrical wiring within an apartment. NSPECT-RICALS are called to
inspect both new developments as well as older apartments, with the latter taking place on a
yearly basis. The firm requires a system to help facilitate and manage the inspection process,
as well as produce the necessary reports for the benefit of management and clients. The
intended users of the system are administrators, clerks, engineers and managers.
In addition to a working system which provides the necessary functionality, the firm is a
strong proponent of the object oriented paradigm and therefore has stipulated that the system
be developed using object oriented programming concepts.

3.0 Objectives of this Coursework
Develop the practical ability to describe, justify and implement an object oriented system.
Research and present a contemporary object oriented topic

4.0 Learning Outcomes
At the end of this coursework you should be able to:
Understand the techniques of object oriented design
Develop hands on programming skills in developing Java applications
Design and implement object oriented software systems
Select appropriate object oriented techniques to solve software development problems

5.0 Type
Individual assignment

6.0 Coursework Description
INSPECT-RICALS engineers engage in two kinds of activity, new electrical installations
and periodic inspection. The latter is a full inspection of a property's existing electrical
wiring and appliances, and is usually a follow up to a previous inspection or installation. A
new electrical installation involves the installation of new electrical wiring at a property for
either an existing or new client. Upon completion of an electrical installation or a periodic
inspection a detailed report verifying the inspection must be completed and issued to the
person ordering the work
Customers contact the firm for either a new installation or for an inspection. The firm's clerk
is responsible for all customer liaisons and will create a new customer account if the
customer is a new customer. Details of the work are to be recorded into the system, such as
whether it is an installation or an inspection. The clerk will then record the details of the
property at which the inspection/installation is to take place (location, time/date, number of
rooms, types of appliances etc). Upon creating the order the clerk allocates an engineer to the
order. Engineers are to use the system for two purposes. Firstly, they will log in and view a
list of all inspections (location, time/date etc) for the upcoming week. In addition, the
engineers will use the system to generate a report regarding the work carried out, such as
which appliances were tested etc. This will then be emailed to the client as proof of the
inspection and installation, as well as printed and signed by the engineer in order to provide
the client with a hard copy.
A record of the inspection will also be saved by the system and at the end of each week the
clerk will collate all the completed inspections/installations and generate an invoice for each
client. The management of the firm will primarily use the system for analysis purposes and
intend to generate statistics, such as the number of inspections carried out and the amount of
work done by each engineer.

There are four users of the system:
The system administrator who have full administrative access to the system,
including user management and other settings.
Clerks who are responsible for customer and order management as well as
responsible for allocating engineers to specific jobs.
Engineers who are responsible for carrying out the inspections/installations.
Managers who have full access to the system other than user management rights.
The system must therefore be able to differentiate between these four types of users through
the authentication and authorisation of users based on their specific job roles.

7.0 General Requirements
The program you submit should be able to execute without errors. In addition, all user input
should be validated in order to minimise user errors. The implementation code must highlight
the use of appropriate object oriented programming concepts as required by the solution. As
the system requires persistent data all information which is entered or edited must be saved
within text files. This is to ensure that the information can be retrieved at a later date.

referencing of the resources should be provided.
All references must be made using the Harvard Naming Convention as shown
below:
The theory was first propounded in 1970 (Larsen, A.E. 1971), but since then
has been refuted; M.K. Larsen (1983) is among those most energetic in their
opposition.
