We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Automotive engineering — The claim that Total Quality Management (TQM) was applied by Motorola in the 1950s is incorrect; Motorola's quality initiatives (Six Sigma) began in the 1980s, not the 1950s.
Biological engineering — The term 'biological engineering' was coined by British scientist and broadcaster Heinz Wolff in 1954, but the term was first used in the 1920s, predating Wolff.
Biological engineering — The first biological engineering program in the United States was started at the University of California, San Diego in 1966, but the first US program was at Drexel University in 1959.
Ceramic engineering — The entry states that glass-ceramics 'may have an amorphous or glassy structure,' which is incorrect because glass-ceramics are polycrystalline materials in their final state.
Ceramic engineering — The LORE section includes Abraham Darby's use of coke in 1709 for iron smelting, which is not a key historical development in ceramic engineering.
Security engineering — The 1967 paper by Willis H. Ware was presented at the 1967 Spring Joint Computer Conference and published in its proceedings, not as a RAND paper in 1967; the RAND report R-609-1 was published in 1970.
Sanitary engineering — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section states 'By the 1850s in London, more than 400,000 tons of sewage were flushed into the River Thames each day.' Historical records commonly cite estimates around 250,000 to 300,000 tons per day, not 400,000 tons.
Sanitary engineering — The 'STATS' section lists 'average_salary=$83,360 per year (as of 2013)'. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for 2013 reported median annual wages for environmental engineers as approximately $80,890, not $83,360.
Power engineering — The claim that the 1878 Paris station was 'the first true power station—a centralized facility supplying electricity to paying customers' is factually incorrect; it was primarily for arc lighting and not a public utility serving paying customers.
