Glad to see another software engineer.  My primary skills are Numerical Analysis and 
Fortran although I can write the same programs in C.  I am trying to figure C++ out.

You can probably start out by fixing bugs since general programing skills are what is

Since everybody else is making suggestions, I think that the widgets that pop-up when you 
start the Parts or start them as applications need work.  They are logically inconsistent 
and confusing.  Please see:
