A computerized engineering design and project data collection and processing system adapted for use over a global computer network, such as the Internet, includes initial data collection and job input modules, project type selection modules, graphic user interface engineering calculators, project management, accounting, and scheduling modules. The system includes computer applications that perform engineering calculations in the form of graphical interface calculators developed using interactive data visualization interfaces adapted with progressive input which customize the calculator based on input scenario. The interactive software application interfaces with a spreadsheet application to import data and formulas, and output interactive animated charts, graphs, and engineering solutions to simple and complex engineering problems. The system is capable of roducing output solutions suitable for approval and sealing by a registered engineer or other approving agent. An overall operations system functions to control contract management, job tracking and coordination, accounting, scheduling, project templates and detail drawings, project tools (including calculators), and plan processing services including approval, sealing, copying, and automated shipping functions. In an alternate embodiment, the system is configured as a network wherein engineering services including engineering design, calculations, and materials reports are provided to customers by remotely located computerized kiosks.
