Answer to Question 1

Examples of negligence on the part of design engineers are (Sweet and Schneier, 2005):

a) Preparing defective engineering designs or drawings that are defective.
b) Not completing drawings when they are needed during construction.
c) Providing cost estimates to owners that are significantly lower than the resulting
actual costs.

Answer to Question 2

If the actions of a professional engineer are a criminal offense then the case is heard in the criminal court system. The penalties he or she would be likely to receive range from being granted probation, a suspended sentence, fines, or jail terms. In addition to criminal sanctions, there are quasi-criminal sanctions to stop an engineer from practicing such as court orders.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
