Humans design, build, operate, use, maintain and can wreck engineering products. Humans are fallible. Engineers have to take into account all the potential failures of people, including other engineers, as well as failures of equipment and materials.
Design engineering is a structured process using both art and science to create new or improved products building on experience, bad as well as good. Failure occurs when something or someone fails to perform to expectations.
