However, as we live andwork in an engineering environment, consideration of design aspects is important tounderstanding why these disasters occurred.In the Triangle case, lenient building codes seemed to reinforce management apathy to thelargely immigrant workforce. The Asch Building barely met code: slightly greater floor spacewould have required another exit staircase; had the building been slightly taller, another fireescape would have been added, and the wooden floors, trim, and window frames would havebeen replaced with concrete and metal, thus affording workers more protection, although a tallerbuilding would not solve the problem of 6-story fire ladders.

during the decadesleading up to the Internet era. Beginning in the mid-1980s, the field of engineering educationstarted to respond to numerous reports that there needed to be changes made to engineeringeducation. An increased emphasis on synthesis and design, open-ended problem solving,development of management and communications skills, professional development, and career-long learning were all included in this call for change. This response was in reaction to aperceived need to correct a multiple decades long emphasis on engineering science that occurredpost-World War II, tilting the engineering education field away from engineering practice andthe new realities of a global economy that demanded skill sets not emphasized at the time [8
