Engineering disasters often arise from shortcuts in the design process. Engineering is the science and technology used to meet the needs and demands of society. [1] These demands include buildings, aircraft, vessels, and computer software. In order to meet society’s demands, the creation of newer technology and infrastructure must be met ...

This is a list of structural failures and collapses of buildings and other structures including bridges, dams, and radio masts/towers. This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness.
The parachute failure was traced to an accelerometer installed backwards. Palace II, Brazil; parts of it collapsed, due to engineering error, killing eight people. Quebec Bridge collapses; Sand Point Light: it was constructed with its tower facing the land instead of facing the water. Whether this was intentional or an engineering blunder is ...

The failure highlighted the need for good communication between design engineers and contractors, and rigorous checks on designs and especially on contractor-proposed design changes. The failure is a standard case study on engineering courses around the world, and is used to teach the importance of ethics in engineering. [42] [43]
