To combine this with one of your other comments on this thread, (The UO has science. It doesn’t have engineering and other applied fields.) one would hope that part of the 'application' portion by  an 'engineer' would include complying with Federal and other level Hazmat regulations.  And what better time to learn such things than while in an academic environment?   I always thought science had to do with the "why" and engineering had to do with the "how".    A scientist explains hydraulic forces and an engineer builds the hydraulic jack, sort of thing.  And the engineer needs to know that some hydraulic fluids are dangerous if not properly handled.  Am I wrong?
