“An object oriented approach has become a paradigm for local and distributed computing and internet applications. This text, designed as an undergraduate exposition of object oritented programming for engineers, presents basic ideas of engineering design process foucssing on the role of of products and productivity”

• Number of examples highlight the features of Object Oriented Programming in design process with special reference to engineering problems • C ++ as a tool is covered with 30 demo programs taking the user to concepts of class, Object Oriented Programming features and graphic levels • Programs are intentionally chosen as samples so that the reader can easily get into C++ programming without prior experience in any form of coding • Detailed applications to engineering prob lems of RC beams, frames towers, cylindrical shell roofs are also highlighted with exampels
