Description: From the Titanic to Betamax, some technologies become by-words for spectacular failure. Engineers use such disasters as object lessons in how to improve design. Laypeople use them to evaluate unfamiliar technologies. This course combines case studies, guest panels, and class projects to see what disasters say about technology's role in society.
