DfS Guidelines15.Alternatives to Incorporate Design for Safety into Engineering CurriculaTo those experienced with the introduction of new topics or courses into established engineeringcurricula, there are five obvious alternatives to increase the DfS knowledge of degreed engineers: A. In all engineering courses, safety hazards could be identified as the subject matter progresses, and could be noted to the students (with options for elimination/reduction) B. In all engineering design courses, only C. In all senior capstone design courses, as a criterion each design team must address in data collection, analysis, creation of alternatives, and evaluation of alternatives D.
