DESCRIPTION:Engineers have an ethical obligation to assure that their desig
 ns are reasonable and safe. While Engineers like to think that their desig
 ns are not only technically correct but perfect\, the truth is that errors
  are often made because the engineers either didn’t understand construct
 ion practices\, hadn’t thought through the design\, got sloppy\, or were
  lazy. James will cover some examples of actual design errors that created
  unnecessary but costly construction difficulties\, put innocent people at
  risk\, or caused deadly\, life-altering injuries. Some of these stories a
 re from James’ own experience\; others have been related by engineers wh
 o were involved.\n\nSpeaker(s): \, James\n\nAgenda: \n- Introduction\n- Pr
