1.5 ORGANISATION OF THE PROJECT
This project is grouped into five chapters. The aspect Organization of the project is the description of each chapter contents.
Chapter one talks about the general introduction of this topic, the objectives of the study, the method used in collecting information, significance of the study and definitions of some used terms.
Chapter two deals with the literature review of the project. This chapter contains a brief history of the case study, an overview of an engine analyzer, details of an expert system and why an expert system is used for this project or in other fields.
Chapter three deals with all about the analysis of the existing system, problems encountered when using the existing procedure. It also describes the new or proposed system and the advantages of using the proposed system over the existing system.
Chapter four gives details of the system design which defines the detailed design and specification of a processing system to carry out the already defined system objectives and requirement. It also talks about the implementation techniques used, the choice of the programming language used with reasons, maintenance and how the new system should be used.
Chapter five lastly gives the summary, recommendation and conclusion of the entire project.
1.6 DEFINITION OF TERMS USED
Expert System: This is an embodiment with a computer that uses a knowledge base of human expertise for problem solving, or clarifies uncertainties where normally one or more human experts would need to be consulted. This expert system represents the expertise knowledge as data or rules within the computer, these rules and data can be called upon when needed to solve problems.
Conventionally computer programs can perform tasks using conventional decision making logic containing little knowledge other than the basic algorithm for solving specific problem and necessary boundary conditions. This program knowledge is often embedded as part of the programming code so that as the knowledge changes, the program has to be changed and then rebuilt. The knowledge based system collect the small fragments of human know-how into a knowledge base which is used to reason through a problem using the appropriate knowledge. A different problem within the domain of the knowledge base can be solved using the same program without reprogramming. The ability of the system to explain the reasoning process through back-traces and to handle levels of confidence and uncertainty provides additional features that conventional programming doesn’t handle.
Troubleshooting: This is a logical, technical and systematic method or way of locating or detecting faults in a system and gives appropriate solution to the fault detected.
Diagnostic: This is the decision reached after the engineer has identified the problem of the vehicle from its sign.
Maintenance: This can be defined as the technical and corresponding administrative actions that are necessary to keep an automobile component in a good condition in order to perform or work in its standard functions. This is done in order to prolong the lifespan of an automobile

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTRACTThe world of I.T is taking over everything on this planet and the use of computers in our day to day activity is one of the major achievements of this century. Computer can be used for virtually everything we humans can do and it makes life easy for us.Computer Aided Troubleshooting in automobile is the use of computer to help individuals or automobile engineers in detecting faults and providing them with the appropriate solution. This can only be achieved by building an expert system. O ... Continue reading---
