Description

Examples of failure in engineering fields are introduced as educational tools, as students show interest in failure in general. After being presented with examples of failure, students were surveyed on their interest and understanding of failure by questionnaire. In some cases, students given examples of failure are more interested in effects, whereas teachers are often more interested in process, and vice versa. This resulted in a mismatch of comprehension between the teacher and students. Case studies in failure can be approached from many points of view including causes, processes, effects and measures for safety. On one hand teachers should emphasize the notable point from multiple aspects in the failure example, in introducing examples of specific topics in machine design. On the other hand teachers should explain multiple aspects in the failure example, to educate students about the complexity of actual accidents.
