only device available is called HTC Dream also more popularly known asG1 by T-Mobile. The specifications for such a device include 192 MB RAM, screen with aresolution of 480 x 320 and MSM7201 chipset with a frequency of 528MHz [1].The OHA [3] is agroup of handset manufacturers and a flurry of new products is expected in the near future with lotof improvement in performance [6]. The implementation of MOMS was completed andsuccessfully tested using a commercially available smart phone (G1) from T-Mobile. However, themain issue during the design and implementation was the simplicity and ease of use in managingand entering orders using one hand or finger on a small touch-screen. Unlike laptops, using mobiletouch-screen without hectic feedback can

all the activities of the users and their interaction with the system.Therefore use case diagrams give a complete picture about the system or applicationfunctionality. It also identifies the requirements and describes a value which results withthe user in operating the whole system. Figure #1 shows the use case diagram thatdescribes activities of the WECM and role of each actors interacting and using the system.Actors are the users of the system which represents their different roles that they playwhile interacting. The relationships between the use cases and actors are also depicted.Sequence diagramThis diagram is a type of representation in Unified Modeling Language (UML). TheUML 2.0 consists of thirteen different diagrams that are divided

incorporates spatial perspectives. The interdisciplinary, unique nature of the proposed BS degree program makes quantitative information on student headcounts in related programs internal and external to RIT difficult to obtain. For example, the strong emphasis on technology makes the proposed degree distinct from BS degrees in Geography where GTs, in part, are typically taught but are not the main focus. The four year plan of study makes the proposed degree distinct and more in-depth from two year, vocationally- oriented type GT degrees.Relationship to RIT goals Goal 1. Improve student retention and graduation rates. This proposed degree program has tremendous career potential through involvement in many infrastructure industries and

Inthe schools studied, biology enrollments by females were equal to or higher than maleenrollments while enrollments of females in computer science in these schools continued todrop7, 9 .Reports from the National Science Foundation (NSF) indicates that there is a “troubling declinein the number of US citizens who are training to become scientists and engineers, whereas thenumber of jobs requiring science and engineering training continues to grow”1. It is crucial thatmore students are attracted to science and engineering fields in order to prevent creating asignificant shortage of

meant that there was minimal need for any administrative tools;deploying a new MEA was as simple as creating a new database table and updating a variable topoint to that new table.In 2004, it was decided to focus the assessment of MEAs on the quality of the product beingcreated instead of just perceived effort. A simple form containing a single open-ended textboxwas created for the TAs to complete (with grades being entered directly into WebCT). Theirfeedback were added to the same database table as the student responses, and a simple dynamicpage was created to show that feedback to the students. This sequence is shown in Figure 1. Page
