Lessons amid the Rubble: An Introduction to Post-Disaster Engineering and Ethics

Mon, 04 Aug 2025
Explores post-disaster engineering, particularly focusing on the World Trade Center collapse of September 11, 2001, to illuminate broader lessons for the profession. It examines how engineers learn from structural failures like the Quebec Bridge and Hyatt Regency skywalks, and how these events reveal the inherent complexities and ethical dilemmas in engineering practice. The sources challenge the notion that engineering is solely technical, arguing for the integration of humanities and social sciences into curricula to foster a holistic understanding of public safety, responsibility, and the societal impact of design. Ultimately, the collection emphasizes that engineering success is intertwined with its failures, necessitating a balance of creativity, conservatism, and a deep appreciation for the human element in technological development.

Sun, 03 Aug 2025
