This Interactive Qualifying Project centered on the concept of determining liability as applied to the design, implementation, and testing of publicly and privately consumed goods. Three sources were researched and used as a foundation for an understanding of products liability law. Three cases were then examined and analyzed using principles learned in engineering coursework, followed by an application of the knowledge gained from the preparatory legal sources to determine which party was at fault in each case.
