Halloween Frights and Delights: Engineering Horror Stories
In ottobre 31, 2018 in All di Lynnette Reese
Lynnette Reese
I recently commented to a colleague that engineers either learn by “letting the smoke out” of something (breaking it) or they can learn vicariously through another’s mistakes, if the mistake is catastrophic enough. I don’t have a lot of these, but I have noticed that engineering horror stories are effective training tools and often funny.
