'Instrumentation Fault Simulation Training Module' or known as FAST.tool is essentially a learning tool which serves as a training kit for instrument troubleshooting. This tool is enthused by numerous complaints concerning new engineers who are inadequately performing troubleshooting. Believing that the engineers' deficiencies are due to lack of experience and substantial training, this tool will optimistically solve the problem. Understanding of various type of instrumentation faults are the key points in order to accomplish this project as well as good knowledge in Visual Basic scripting and coding. To accomplish the project, the prototyping process model approached is applied. The model process begins with a requirements capture activity, followed by a quick design and build of a prototype or mock-up of the product. After analyzing the first built model, further modifications to the requirements are generated and the process begins again to build the second model. These processes continue until the final model satisfied the objectives of the project. Taking into consideration all interactive enhancement suggestions towards the project, new and better user interface design is created and introduced. This project aims to lay the solid foundation for the troubleshooting skill development using multimedia aid become to overcome the troubleshooting deficiency.
