- Risk tends to be increased by innovation of technology. Engineering educators encourage innovative solutions to engineering design problems, but sometimes fails to emphasize the relationship between innovation and risk.
- Innovation, by definition, involves design features or details that are somehow outside the boundary of current practice.
- Design standards (or regulations) do not anticipate specific issues caused by a particular innovative solution.
- Engineers who propose innovative solution ought to be attentive to its implications, so that the new risks can be identified.
