0 one of a set of separate parts that, when combined, form a complete whole:
The emergency building is transported in individual modules, such as bedrooms and a kitchen, which are put together on site.
The full computer program is made up of several modules (= small programs) which should be individually tested before being integrated.
1 one of a set of separate parts that can be joined together to form a larger object:
2 one of a set of separate parts which, when combined, form a complete whole:
The emergency generator is transported in individual modules, which are then put together on site.
3 a part of a computer or software system or program that has a function and works together with other related parts:
4 one of the parts that a course of study is divided into, which covers a particular subject and often has its own examination:
The course will include a 3-week module on environmental management.
To describe the approach, a practical example related to the design of modules for woodworking machines is repor ted.
The concise rules can form the foundation of training modules that can jump-star t workers' skills to new and higher levels of competence.
The stiffness and stress of individual modules is examined first, followed by the performance of a composite structure of many units.
The model consists of several modules each returning overall cost of a major component from the simple mathematical representations of the factors described above.
Modularization of knowledge base can avoid the conflict of knowledge among these modules.
Components, modules, systems, and similar entities are subsumed under the term system.
The second part covers 'advanced' features: polymorphic and higherorder functions, datatype declarations, modules, arrays, references.
Much has been written about the advantages of modules and abstract data types.
