Improvement in quality control for applications used by marine engineers

At present, engineering students must learn an adequate programming language that allows them to easily automate typical problems. This result is more important when we require an adequate graphical representation of the problem, as is usually done in engineering. This study presents an optimal programming language for quality control analysis. The results show that Visual Basic for Applications is the most adequate language that reduces the programming time; moreover, it is compatible with limited resources. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
