Object Oriented Analysis and Design: Do We Need More UML in the Classroom? Richard V. McCarthy Quinnipiac University Hamden, CT 06518, USA Bruce A. White Quinnipiac University Hamden, CT 06518, USA Martin Grossman Bridgewater State College Bridgewater, MA 02325, USA

Abstract: UML has emerged as the de facto standard for object oriented analysis and design. It is a complex notational and symbolic language with many features and functions that is methodology independent. A qualitative and quantitative survey of UML users was conducted to determine the extent to which UML meets their needs. This research evaluates the qualitative responses to provide a basis to examine; to what extent do we need to include UML within IT curriculum?

Keywords: UML, object-oriented analysis and design
