in the solution of broadly defined problems.  Civil Engineering Technician (CE Technician) is a person typically performing task- oriented scientific or engineering related activities and exercising technical judgments commensurate with those specific tasks. A person working as a CE Technician works under the direct control and personal supervision of a CE Professional or direction of a CE Technologist. A person initially obtains status as a CE Technician through the completion of requisite formal education, experience, examination(s), and/or other requirements as specified by an appropriate credentialing body. A person working as a CE Technician is expected to comprehend and

While the term nerd can be datedback to the 1950’s where it first appeared in Dr. Suess’s book, If I Ran a Zoo, and early versionsof the nerd on television can be dated to the 1960’s with characters like Richie on Happy Days,the stereotypical nerd persona is highly attributed to the Revenge of the Nerds franchise in the1980’s8.

Student teams were asked to develop an emergency management plan for a lab (teachingor research lab) in the department. They were asked to do a walk-around of the space anddetermine the locations of nearest eye wash, safety shower, first aid kits, and spill kits. Theywere also asked to identify emergency exit routes, rally points, and emergency contactinformation for that space. Students used the lab space floor plan to mark the location of safetydevices and kits, and to chart emergency routes. Example of an emergency management plan isgiven in figure 5.

However, the operability of complete processes is usually outside thescope of these courses.An observation from teaching process design over a period of approximately 25 years is thatstudents have become increasing adept at using computer software and performing increasinglycomplex simulations using simulator software. Parametric optimization and extensive heatintegration are examples of improvements that can be and that are now easily simulated butwould have been nearly impossible or prohibitively time consuming only 25 years ago. Thisimprovement in software acuity seems to come at the price of
