ActiveSEEP
This is an AutoCAD 2002 port for 2-D groundwater seepage modeling powered by LISA;sfinite element analysis engine. It is meant to provide a highly flexible CAD environment for the user to define his seepage problem and the corresponding finite element grid/mesh. It has been named accordingly after Microsoft's revolutionary 'ActiveX' technology, without which this simple educational product could not have been realized in this way.

AutoLabs DBMS
This is a database management system for automating administrative and experimental tasks at the three major civil and environmental engineering laboratories at AUB. It consists of a core Database Application through which internal users and lab operators manage the database, and a web outlet for lab customers to place orders, retrieve results, and manage their personal profiles.

Shorty 2000: A Short Column Design Tool
The software presented for this project is a small application of CAD with a basic interface on MS Excel, and a link to AutoCAD. It deals specifically with the problem of designing columns subject to any loading condition (Axial load with uniaxial or biaxial bending) using the approximate Bresler method.

Design of Beams Under Torsion: D-BUT
“Design of Beams Under Torsion” or “D-BUT” is a simple application developed for the “Computer Methods in Civil Engineering” course, CVEV 118. “D-BUT” analyses and designs edge beams in one-way slabs. It integrates the use of three computer programs, AutoCAD, VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), and Microsoft Excel for the user input and output of the problem.

DB-OFFICE-2-ACAD
DB-OFFICE-2-ACAD, our project for Unit C, is a simple program to store information and link it to an AutoCAD drawing. The program is basically a database that stores information of the content of the offices of the engineering faculty members at AUB. DB-OFFICE-2-ACAD was programmed using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, and interacts with Microsoft Access and any Window version of AutoCAD (Release 13 & above). DB-OFFICE-2-ACAD is user-friendly software, which can be used by any computer literate person.

The snake game
The game of snake is an extremely popular pastime. It is found on most cellular phones, and on many video game consoles. A very common sight in Lebanon, are people holding there cell phones and killing time by playing this popular game. It is this great success of the game that prompted the development of a personal computer version, and programmed using visual basic. The project encompasses the development of the game snake. It can be installed on any a personal computer.
