This recommended practice provides the basic meanings of terms, as they are used in the cost engineering field
described in AACE International’s Total Cost Management Framework. Some terms may have different meanings
when applied in fields other than cost engineering. Some terms may have different meanings for the various
disciplines within cost engineering. Multiple definitions are given for terms where applicable. Definitions specific to
each discipline are often introduced by identifying the relevant discipline—e.g., “In planning and scheduling,” “In
estimating and budgeting,” “In risk analysis,” etc.

Engineering and Design- Design Of Small Water Systems
Introduction:
This manual provides guidance and criteria for the design of small water supply, treatment, and distribution systems. For the purpose of this manual, small water systems shall be those having average daily design flow rates of 380 000 liters per day (l/d) (100 000 gallons per day (gpd)) or less. However, the use of the term small is arbitrary, there being no consensus in the water supply literature with respect to its meaning. Regulations regarding the acceptability of a water source, degree of treatment required, and the monitoring requirements are not based on flow rates, but rather on a water system classification relating to the number of people served and for what period of time. Figure 1-1 provides a flowchart for system classification. Refer to Chapter 3, paragraph 3-4b for the appropriate nomenclature.

Process Design Engineering
PROCESS ENGINEERING AND THE ROLE OF PROCESS ENGINEER
Process design is the design of processes for desired physical and or chemical transformation of materials. Process design is central to chemical engineering and it can be considered to be the summit of chemical engineering, bringing together all of the components of that field. Process Engineering involves the design of unit operations & equipment design.
Role of Process Engineer: Chemical engineers (or process engineers) are responsible for developing new industrial processes and designing new process plants and equipment or modifying existing ones. The processes that they come up with are used to create products ranging from oil and gas, chemicals, petrochemicals, and specialty chemicals to food and drink. It is a vocation wherein the process engineer is supposed to perform any one or all of the activities mentioned below to provide documentation for a safe, reliable, and profitable design
Design new equipment/unit/plant as per good and internationally accepted engineering practices (Greenfield)
Rate or checks the adequacy of existing equipment/unit/plant for changed operating conditions (e.g. pressure, temperature, flow, etc.) as per good and internationally accepted engineering practices (Brownfield)
