approach.Object-oriented methodologiesThe usage of object-oriented methodology in constructing engineering and businessapplications has grown exponentially since the early 90’s. Object-oriented softwaredesign focuses on objects versus functions and functional decompositions. An object isintroduced as a distinct entity, containing its data and functions. The main features ofobject-oriented methodology are encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism.Encapsulation refers to wrapping object attributes and behaviors in an enclosed entity,inheritance deals with object reuse, and polymorphism concerns with object havingaccess to a behavior where the knowledge to the access is known at runtime.ObjectObject encapsulates the attributes (data or member data) and

. Set up the appropriate physical equations that must be used to solve for the unknown parameter(s). The equations stem from all of the physical laws available to the engineer/student: Laws of Thermodynamics (particularly the Conservation of Energy), Newton’s Laws (including laws of static equilibrium, conservation of linear and angular momentum), Maxwell’s Laws, etc. For this problem, the First law of thermodynamics is used together with the equations for convection and radiation heat transfer to and from the body and through the walls of the ice chamber. The heat transfer network is shown at the top of figure 1. 5. Present the answer in a graphical format such as shown in figure 2. This format helps the

S/he may have language skills that are entirely sufficient for her/hiscoursework and professional interaction but that are not strong enough to prepare a large,formal thesis easily. Alternately, the writer may have been poorly prepared at anundergraduate level and is unsure about basic writing practices.Inarguably, the thesis in engineering---at both the master’s and the doctoral level--- is acomplex technical writing task.

Identifying the smallest loadPU for a prescribed loading defines MP (or vice versa). This process requires the student toanalyze the beam visually and locate possible collapse modes. There is no need to determinereaction forces.An illustration of elastic and plastic methods is provided by the beam below having equalspacing L between pin supports at A, B, … E and fixed support at F.
