Engineering CurriculumAbstractLessons learned from case studies have had a significant impact on both education and practiceof engineering and related disciplines. The history of practice in many engineering disciplines is,in large part, the story of failures, both imminent and actual, and ensuing changes to designs,standards and procedures made as the result of timely interventions or forensic analyses. Inaddition to technical issues, professional and ethical responsibilities are highlighted by therelevant cases. Pilot studies had assessed the use of failure case studies in civil engineering andengineering mechanics courses at Cleveland State University under an earlier NSF sponsoredproject.
