One of the many ways to define a civil engineer is as follows:A civil engineer is an academically educated and practice-oriented professional who has anduses scientific, technical and other pertinent knowledge and skills to create, enhance, operateand maintain safe and efficient buildings, processes or devices of practical and economicvalue, for industry and the community.3.

With the proper micrometer this stretch can be measured.Call this initial elongation,Gb . Next the bolted plates are considered as springs in compression,following the same spring equation as the bolts except that the combined length of the plates (ortotal thickness ) is shortened. Thus the bolt has stretched an amount G b and the plates havecompressed a total amount of G p .Here a brief review of free body diagrams is presented. Taking the bolt as a free body, thecompressed plates tend to expand putting the load Fp on the bolt. This force tending to elongatethe bolt is opposed by the tension in the bolt

Thus, the focus of this paper is topresent the results of the face validity check t and outline next steps for the project overall.Tolerance of AmbiguityThe concept of tolerance of ambiguity (TA) was introduced by Frenkel-Brunswick [6] andduring the several decades following the concept and its measurement have evolvedconsiderably. Frenkel-Brunswick [13] defined TA as an “emotional and perceptual personalityvariable” [pg. 791]. TA has been defined many times, but MacDonald [14], whose modifiedscale was used in this study, states: “[P]ersons having high tolerance of ambiguity (a) seek out ambiguity, (b) enjoy ambiguity, and
