Hi, as a recently graduated ME student who is working on their Ph.D in mechanical engineering this seems to be an interesting project. I've recently completed a project to program characteristic equations of chemical reactions in MATLAB and C++, and your project which has a subject matter that hits closer to home should be a delight to work in. I have programmed VB before, it should not be a problem, although it may be quicker for me to do in something different. Thanks.
