Goals:               To provide the student with an appreciation of the social and economic

                           impact of industrial accidents.  To provide the student with general rules

                           and checklists to help design and maintain a safe work environment.  To

                           define the role of the design engineer in industrial and product safety.

To introduce the role of governmental and voluntary standards in process and product design safety.
