Lesson 1:: Unit 4: Safety, Maintenance and Quality Control

This document outlines lessons from a unit on safety, maintenance, and quality control for engineers. The unit contains three lessons: 1) analyzing the causes of accidents using a case study on NASA space shuttles, 2) preventing accidents by identifying risks, and 3) explaining the physical phenomena that caused the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge through exercises and an instructional video. Students will complete exercises, readings, and listening activities for each lesson before recording and submitting a video presentation assessing their understanding of the lesson concepts. The final product for the unit will be a cumulative project assessing students' learning across all three lessons.
