1. Activity 25 Engineering enemies
Reading
In the world of engineering there are some factors which could behave like an enemy. What are
we talking about? Well, sometimes something really small could damage a system, some examples
of them are the high temperatures which could melt or deform an important piece, and this would
cause a malfunction. In other cases, something like an impact or the friction from movement could
be also a cause of a damage in a system.
In other cases, something as simple as a liquid could be responsible to damage a system, that´s
why it´s so important to avoid any drainage of fluid.
Along the time, there have been many accidents which were caused for oversights in the
engineering area, which encourages engineers today to be more careful and efficient.
Despite that the engineering is the most important, we must not forget that it is necessary that
each system has in sight all their prejudices, knowing that they can be used by anyone who may
not know the system constraints.
