Just look at the image and the miss-calculations. You will definately get a laugh after looking at it. But the recent events coerced me to think, "Is this bad engineering. Are our educational institutes not capable in producing quality engineers?"
"Is the collapse of the metro in Delhi really due to bad engineering? Or is it due to something else?" Sources said the report of the four-member committee inquiring into the July 12 bridge collapse, near Lajpat Nagar, would point out whether a design fault, on-site construction or substandard material were responsible. The cracks were reported to the higher authorities of DMRC. But a deaf ear was shown to the reports (cited from news reports).
It appears that it was not a design fault, but rather a substandard material used by the contractors. How can a design made to sustain for 30 years go down so soon. This is mainly due to the corruption that is prevalent in our system. Hence I feel that ethics should be incorporated in the curriculum of all the professional courses.
