Abstract

Everything that comes into existence needs our sustained attention. As engineers, we shouldn’t forget about the importance of following things up, getting them done, closing them. Engineering, in general, is a lot about planning and determinism, but also about expecting the unexpected; things pop into existence out of the blue and often at the worst time possible. Whatever their nature, all things have a life cycle, from appearance to closure. And things do not seem to close by themselves.
