I'd be interested in knowing how many of y'all are being taught about this sort of thing in college ethics/safety/reliability classes.
I was taught about this in engineering school, as part of a general engineering course also covering things like bathtub reliability curves and how to calculate the number of redundant cooling pumps a nuclear power plant needs. But it's a long time since I was in college.
Is this sort of thing still taught to engineers and developers in college these days?
