Course: Engineering Explorations I-(21005-36) > Section: Practicing Engineering Fundamentals

Definition should include

- risk as the exposure to the chance of injury, loss, or danger
- safety as the minimization of risk
- risk management as the technique of weighing the risk required to make a positive change.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the potential consequences of failure and benefits of success, short-term or long-term?
- What is the expected probability of any potential outcome?
- What are the threshold risk levels?
- Why is safety the most important engineering ethic in terms of product function?
