operate, use, maintain and can wreck engineering products. Humans
are fallible. Engineers have to take into account all the potential
failures of people, including other engineers, as well as failures
of equipment and materials. Design engineering is a structured
process using both art and science to create new or improved
products - building on experience, bad as well as good. Failure
occurs when something or someone fails to perform to expectations.
