ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

    On November 7, 1997, pursuant to certain Subscription Agreements
(collectively the "Subscription Agreements") dated as of November 7, 1997 by and
between Nicollet Process Engineering, Inc. (the "Company") and each of Oscar
Capital Management, LLC ("Oscar Capital"), Anthony Scaramucci ("Scaramucci"),
David R. Chamberlin ("Chamberlin") and Andrew K. Boszhardt, Jr. ("Boszhardt")
(Oscar Capital, Scaramucci, Chamberlin and Boszhardt are collectively referred
to herein as the "Investors"), the Investors purchased an aggregate of 1,166,667
shares (the "Investor Shares") of common stock, no par value (the "Common
Stock") of the Company at a price of $0.60 per share, for an aggregate purchase
price of $700,000 (the "Transaction").  As a condition to the closing of the
Transaction, the directors of the Company were required to purchase an aggregate
of 100,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price of $0.60 per share
(the "Directors Shares").   The 1,166,667 shares issued to the Investors in
connection with the Transaction represented approximately 25.2% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company after the closing,
approximately 34.6% of such outstanding Common Stock of the Company prior to the
closing and approximately 19.5% of such outstanding Common Stock of the Company
on a fully-diluted basis (assuming the exercise of all stock options and
warrants outstanding as of November 7, 1997).   All of the Investors Shares and
the Director Shares are "restricted stock," as defined in the rules promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Investors Shares also have
certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights.  Pursuant to the terms of
the Subscription Agreements, the Company agreed to elect Boszhardt to the
Company's Board of Directors.  Mr. Pierce A. McNally and Mr. Robert A. Pitner,
the Chairman of the Board and President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, respectively, have agreed to vote their respective shares of Common
Stock of the Company in favor of electing Mr. Boszhardt to the Board of
Directors of the Company.

    Additional information concerning the Transaction is contained in the
Subscription Agreements and the Registration Rights Agreement, the forms of
which are exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
