February 2016: “Where were you?”
May 2016: “SCRAM”
The “Editor’s Page” presents responsibilities, problems and rewards of the process control profession, and introduces readers to the personality of the magazine. It lets them know that in these pages they will find information, resources and entertainment targeted to their very specialized culture, presented honestly and directly in terms they can understand and appreciate. “Where were you?” challenges readers to use their educated judgment and take responsibility for questioning authority when they carry out directives. “SCRAM” questions why, despite understanding in detail the potential for fires, explosions, environmental destruction and human casualties, automation engineers are prone to the same convenient nearsightedness about cybersecurity as anyone else.
