    This document provides examples of the postivist/structural-functionalist paradigm. 1. It compares examples of problem domains in medicine and civil engineering that deal with definable, rational objects and processes. 2. It outlines methodologies for each example that focus on objective observations, measurement, and experimentation to diagnose illnesses or design and build structures. 3. It discusses epistemologies based on science-based knowledge and experience along with an awareness of environments and valued outcomes like health or structural integrity.
