La ingeniería es humana nos reconcilia con el error. En sus páginas, Henry Petroski analiza la ingeniería como tentativa humana y, por consiguiente, susceptible de fracasar. Petroski relaciona el fallo con el intento de superar los límites de lo conocido; no falla el que repite sino el que innova, el que arriesga. Sin embargo, Petroski también demuestra que construir más allá de lo probado y emplear materiales nunca utilizados antes no tiene por qué conducir necesariamente al fracaso. Proyectar es, en esencia, evitar el fallo; y conocer la forma en que otras estructuras similares han fallado nos previene de repetirlos. A lo largo del libro se analizan algunos de los fallos más relevantes en la historia de la ingeniería como el derrumbe de las pasarelas del hotel Hyatt de Kansas City, el puente de Tacoma Narrows o los accidentes del DC 10 o el Comet de los que podemos extraer lecciones fundamentales para el desempeño de la ingeniería. Nadie quiere aprender a base de errores, pero de los éxitos no podemos extraer conclusiones que nos permitan ir más allá. Como sostiene Petroski, el éxito puede ser grandioso, pero sin duda la decepción puede enseñarnos más.
