Duringthe past several years, a project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) has focusedon the implementation of failure case studies into engineering curricula. Work has focused ondeveloping teaching resources on a wide variety of failure cases for faculty to utilize in a varietyof undergraduate engineering courses1, 2, 3.
