I knew about liability but did not know about magnitude” 2) “The true purpose of engineering is not quality/ productivity of the product (though those are important) but it is the safety of the user/consumer” 3) “A failure in design is not necessarily a bad situation. Failures drive innovation.”Engineering technology curriculum does not have a course on cost analysis.

In its early days, and up until about1985, the course was primarily a drafting course that taught engineering students how to makemanual board drawings and how to solve spatial geometry problems. The advent of affordabledesktop computers ushered in a short-lived era of “electronic” drafting. In the 1990’s, theEngineering Graphics program at the University of Texas at Austin received a series of NSFeducation grants1-3 to develop a new graphics curriculum based on 3-D
