Learning Objectives: 
  • Identify relationships (e.g., topology) within a conceptual model that can be derived by analysis rather than being stored explicitly
  • Deconstruct a scientific hypothesis to identify possible strategies for testing
  • Identify components in the conceptual model of a particular application that will require analytical modeling rather than data modeling
  • Discuss the relevance of the scientific method to a particular system design problem
