Over the past three years research has evaluated the impact of including failure case studies in specific civil engineering and engineering mechanics courses. Failure case studies developed under two NSF-funded projects have resulted in a book published by the American Society for Civil Engineers (ASCE) Press, Beyond Failure: Forensic Case Studies for Civil Engineers. This paper presents a discussion of the organization and the presentation of the individual cases, as well as some suggestions for use of the work in the curriculum and elsewhere.
