However, many, if not most, engineering academic curricula allowlittle or no room for professional practice other than minimal capstone projects. In thosethat do, the approach is widely scattered.

Groups ofstudents were given information on a real process where an accident had occurred in order toprovide them the technical background on the process. Then, they pretended to be a safetyreview team looking at the process before the accident occurred to try to predict potentialhazards. One team used HAZOP analysis, while the other used the “What-If?” method forevaluating process safety.
