At the 18th anniversary of the levee failures during Hurricane Katrina, Levees.org kicked off the Engineering Failures Education (EFE) campaign.
The EFE campaign aims to require all students working toward their Bachelor’s degree in engineering to receive instruction on engineering failures and the lessons they teach.
The EFE campaign is going extremely well.
The list of engineers, experts and organizations in support grows daily, and the public manifesto (online petition) has garnered nearly 500 signatures.
In addition, the Associated Press (AP) has written an in-depth story about the EFE campaign which aired coast to coast including in the Washington Post.
Energy is high. If you haven’t yet, please add your name in support.
