    (1)   Run Instructions on ArgoUML: ArgoUML is a UML tool we have made available to you. (You can use any other software instead, if you prefer (Rational, or even Microsoft Word would work).  ) To use argoUML, you can use any of the Engineering machine in the Engineering or EECS labs.

    (2)   On Windows: Go to Start -> Programs -> EECS Apps -> argoUML. 

    (3)   On Unix: type argouml on the command prompt

    b) Microsoft Visio: It is already installed on Engr. (you can find it under Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Office). You can draw class diagrams, sequence diagrams, state chart diagrams using this software.

    c)      Poseidon for UML: Download it from http://www.gentleware.com/products/. This software is also easy to use, but might crash sometimes. So make sure you save your design documents.
