Unfortunately,most facility managers of small manufacturing firms have little time to sort through largemanuals educating themselves in energy efficiency.This led us to the conclusion that we needed to develop a software package to assist thesemanufacturers. While a software program or publication can not provide the technicalexperience of a University Industrial Assessment Center team, it is our belief that a program canhelp manufacturers to implement some of the more common recommendations associated withthe IAC program.

A strong and stimulatingcourse designed to introduce first semester sophomore students to the full profession throughvisual and “hands on” field and laboratory experiences can provide a firm foundation for avibrant civil engineering curriculum. Without such an introduction, a student pondering thebroad range of technical and nontechnical courses in the curriculum may wonder “How does itall fit together?” A student who is well versed in the fundamentals of civil engineering will be ina position to devise creative solutions to complex problems.
