Electrical Engineering Design Errors That Caused Construction Problems and Deaths While Engineers like to think that their designs are not only technically correct but perfect, the truth is that errors are often made because the engineers either don’t understand construction practices or just haven’t thought through the design. James will cover many examples of actual design errors that resulted in danger to maintenance personnel and the public. Some errors merely resulted in poorly functioning roadway illumination systems; others simply created unnecessary construction difficulties. Engineers have an obligation to assure that their designs are reasonable and safe.
