Interesting course! Difficult quiz.
Marc Olson |
Very interesting failure analysis. Thought provoking regarding new designs and re-use of existing designs.

As a former submarine officer, I have great difficulty with the assumption that the Thresher was trimmed to negative ballast on her first dive to test depth following a shipyard overhaul. That goes against everything I learned, saw, and personally practiced as a diving officer.
Richard Bennett |
A lot of good points made. Might have been more valuable if the lessons were abstracted to a higher level
Scott Henry |
Very good lesson and well done showing how applies to other fields.
William Conley Jr |
I am a retired naval engineering duty submarine officer ans had a general familiarity with the Thresher disaster.
I learned several new facts about the sinking and investigation, and several important lessons in accident investigation.
Patrick Kelly |
Good course interesting. One comment - the author refers to aerodynamic forces - that would be hydrodynamic forces
Lamond Jasper |
Great course. The subject has a lot of relevance to my industry.
James Hunt |
good summary of the accident and possible causes
engineering study was well presented as it applies to other failures
Vincent Rubano |
Good course showing how principles can e applied in many fields
John Wilson |
More emphasis should be put on the failure to correctly use statistical "Spot" checking.
The high rate of failures should have required additional testing that could have led to complete retesting as required in SUBSAFE.
Donald McDowell |
Great case study - explained well with linkages to all engineering disciplines
Jean Perry |
Good for learning engineering history.
James Eats |
Text was really interesting
