The Therac-25 Incident (2021)

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?

This and Tacoma Narrows are literally the only topics covered in engineering ethics, which itself is literally only a one hour presentation.
