Engineering Malpractice: Avoiding Liability through Education Martin S. High, Paul E. Rossler Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OKIntroduction Not many engineers consider malpractice when they receive their engineeringdegrees or, for that matter, give it much thought during their employment. Most degreedengineers are not licensed and, even if licensed, are largely insulated from liability simplybecause plaintiffs typically choose to sue the employer rather than the employeeengineer.1 Unfortunately, as the engineering profession migrates to smaller companies,solo consultants, and idependent contractor relationships the specter of legal liabilitylooms larger Engineering

Overthe past several years the authors have been developing methods that effectively represent thedesign process. This work discusses how four different representations were implemented in thefirst semester of a one year capstone design course to allow student teams to self-manage aproject in the second semester.
