Holes are drilled in theside of the bottom end cap to allow water in, and another hole is drilled in the upper cap forventing of air. A stick with a cup containing granulated cork is placed in the pipe. As the waterrises, so does the granulated cork. When the water falls, the cork adheres to the stick leaving aclear high water mark. Figure 5 shows one of the crest gages installed in a manhole during astorm and details of the recording stick

Thus, it is imperative to prepare graduates of engineering technology programs toinclude a course on project management. An Industry Advisory Council for a university inLouisiana expressed the need for project management trained graduates, and worked with thedepartment faculty to develop a course on technical project management. The developed courseis offered as part of a new post-baccalaureate certificate program at the university.This paper discusses the development of a project management course tailored to
