Engineers have an ethical obligation to assure that their designs are reasonable and safe. 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 didn’t understand construction practices, hadn’t thought through the design, got sloppy, or were lazy. James will cover some examples of actual design errors that created unnecessary but costly construction difficulties, put innocent people at risk, or caused deadly, life-altering injuries. Some of these stories are from James’ own experience; others have been related by engineers who were involved.
