Thepaper will conclude with a discussion on creating these projects and the benefits theyprovide.IntroductionWhen people think of Civil Engineering design, they usually think first of designing abridge. The process of design is much more encompassing. The object of the design doesnot necessarily have to be an artifact or facility; it may also be a process. A civil engineermay design a bridge, or a building, or a highway intersection, or water or wastewatertreatment plant or a process for remediating a contaminated landfill. While the productsof these designs are dissimilar, the design process used is the same in each. It starts with aconceptual design, proceeds to a preliminary design and culminates with a detailed design.As teams create

Process control and instrumentation is a field of engineering that deals with the monitoring and control of machines, systems and processes across various industries. It involves the use of sensors, actuators, controllers, software and hardware to measure and manipulate physical variables such as temperature, humidity, pressure, flow, level, pH, force, speed, etc. Process control and instrumentation aims to improve the efficiency, quality, safety and reliability of various industrial operations [1].
