For the development of this project, our team has identified a short list of critical hardware and software that will be necessary to complete the design project.
These items are:

Our team has already been informed on how to obtain the Demo SECSIMPro software. For the workstation needs, the Northern Arizona University College of Engineering contains multiple computers that meet these requirements and will be available for our use.

The budget for this project has been divided into two sections: real world costs and actual costs. Both of these costs are summarized in the Table below. The budget figures for time and labor were calculated using a $50.00 per hour wage, at 10 hours a week, for 13 weeks, for 3 people. Since our client provided all of the learning material, there is no cost associated with this cost. We plan to visit the client 3 times during the project lifetime, which is $75.00 a trip for a total of $300.00. The cost of printing and sending materials to the client is estimated at $100.00. For an estimated 2 hours of telephone communication we estimated $12.00 worth of charges. Finally, for any extra costs that might arise, an additional $75 is added to miscellaneous costs.

As shown in the Table, the total real world costs for this project would have come to a total of $24,487.00. As a design for practice project, the total actual cost for the project comes to $487.00.
