Internally, Facebook's engineering corps also had to be retrained to better understand mobile technology.
During the war he was at first in an engineering corps, helping to rebuild bridges.
Most of them were graduate engineers, graduates of MIT, members of the Engineering Duty Officer Corps Elites.
On the other hand, the Corps has hired two independent outside engineering groups that will review the Corps' conclusions, and they are very prestigious.
Walter Baumy, the agency's engineering division chief, said the Corps is trying to line up rock, sandbags, barges, helicopters and cranes to patch the damaged levees.
Ignoring safety and poor engineering are not policy, and clearly the Corps engaged in such activities.

The Corps has also deployed the 249th Engineering Battalion and other temporary emergency power assets to provide support to areas impacted by the storm.
The I-Corps teams, selected from science and engineering applicants who are current or former NSF grantees, comprise just a principal investigator (usually a tenured professor), a younger entrepreneurial lead (undergraduate, graduate or post-doctoral student) and an experienced entrepreneur or venture capitalist as a mentor.
With funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) as well as the Kauffman Foundation of Kansas City and the Deshpande Foundation of India, Mr Blank has designed I-Corps as a way of converting the most promising science and engineering projects in American universities into start-ups.
Haphazardly constructed over 40 years, it was based on 1960s, slide-rule era science that the Army Corps of Engineers never bothered to update, even as sophisticated computer models became the norm in engineering circles.
