Students in FIU’s engineering and architecture programs came out at 5 a.m. to watch the theory they learn in class take form in a real-world application.

Civil engineering doctoral student Dewan Hossain said: “I would say this is magic. In five hours using that ABC technology and sensors, the bridge is already there. In the classroom, we learn about the design, the construction, the safety – that’s a big issue – and here we’re seeing it actually happening. Here we are establishing a real, practical application of what we learn in the classroom. I would encourage more students to come view these types of projects to enhance what they learn.”

This gives me a big clue as to the "root cause", which appears to be a priority to fulfill the words quoted here,

I would say this is magic. "In five hours using that ABC technology and sensors, the bridge is already there."

The PR ran roughshod over the engineering. And now where are they? Not counting the eight or so crushed to death?
