In 1966, the U.S. Congress passed the “National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, the legislation signed by President Lyndon Johnson, that required automobile manufacturers to institute safety standards to protect the public from unreasonable risk of accidents occurring as a result of the design, construction, or operation of automobiles” [1]. This legislation reinforced the power of engineering design as well as the social responsibility and accountability of engineers for engineering solutions they design.
