Helping students understandthe concepts that are key in building a trusting and empowering meeting environmentwas the goal of the training. The educational foundations used to create the class camefrom literature about public meetings and interviews with engineers who have ledmeetings. As young engineers leave university and are working their first jobs, hopefullythat necessity to sometimes be involved with a public process will not be surprising.Instead, the hope is that these students remember skills they learned and
