Engineers and Scientists Behaving Well

In contrast to accident cases, these exemplars are intended to give neophyte engineers examples of engineers and scientists responding well to situations, so they have positive examples not only of actions, but to the extent possible, reasoning behind those actions. By including both cases in which others also acted well in response to the engineer's actions and cases in which they did not, we intend to avoid the fallacy of judging every effort by its outcome.
