Engineering Failure Education (EFE) is a public safety campaign to require all students working toward their Bachelor’s degree in Engineering in the U.S. to receive instruction on engineering failures and the lessons learned from those failures.
This is needed because the engineering students of today will develop the technological solutions of tomorrow.
The EFE campaign will formulate a letter to the President of ABET (the accrediting body for engineering colleges.) The letter will ask ABET to add these words to Student Outcome #4: students must demonstrate awareness of past engineering failures.
This letter will come from a coalition of deans of ABET-accredited engineering schools throughout the US.
