in theconceptual model are mapped to concrete classes, to abstract interfaces in application programinterface (APIs) and to roles that the objects take in various situations. The interfaces and theirimplementations for stable concepts can be made available as reusable services. Conceptsidentified as unstable in object-oriented analysis will form basis for policy classes that makedecisions, implement environment-specific or situation specific logic or algorithms [6] Ite r a te O n A n a ly s is P r o b le m D e fin itio nC la r ify D e fin itio n OOA

approaches to rationale refer to processes in which the goal of the DR is to describethe thinking process that the system designer(s) utilize. Alternatively, prescriptive approaches areaimed at improving the design process by improving the reasoning process of the systemdesigners [1]. Also, the extent to which the method of DR capture intrudes in the design process isa characterizing feature. Most of the DR approaches are of the intrusive nature, though over thepast 15 years there has been extensive research done to find less intrusive ways of capturing andformalizing DR [7]. This work in reducing the intrusiveness of DR is being done in an attemptreduce the overhead involved with capturing and utilizing DR, and make it much more intuitiveto

the 2006 Mid-Atlantic Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education” 3More recently a keynote lecture was presented in August of 2006 at Karlovy University inPrague, dealing with binary batch distillation3. These have been generated for systems not havingany azeotropes. Batch distillation is time dependant. The programs for both constant reflux ratiodistillation and constant distillate composition were animated.The use of the McCabe4-Thiele method and the Ponchon5-Savarit6 for solving binary distillationproblems in Chemical Engineering have a long history going back to the early 1920 ‘s

” acknowledges that tapping the potential in “previously underutilized groups” will becritical for sustaining the technological lead the U.S. enjoys throughout the world (NSF, 2006).National concern has been expressed about the status of the U. S. science and engineering base-specifically the human talent, knowledge and infrastructure that generate innovations andundergird technological advances to achieve national objectives. Analyses have shown that theremay be a significant shortage in the entry level science and engineering labor pool, and thatscientific and technical fields could be significantly affected. Demographic data also show afuture with proportionately fewer young people and a work force comprised of growing numbersof minorities and the

algebra-based physics of mechanics course is followed by a calculus-based staticsand dynamics course(s), then the topics of concern clearly are covered on a calculus basis. Asimilar argument can be made for electromagnetics. In fact, the conceptual basis ofelectromagnetics topics that is typically covered in the context of capacitor and inductoroperation in electric circuits courses has been the prerequisite for three calculus-basedelectromagnetics/transmission lines courses in the Electrical Engineering Technology program atMSOE for several years. The authors contend that the sciences must be eventually covered on acalculus basis, whether in calculus-based physics courses or subsequently in advanced courses,for the adequate preparation of
