Forensics is the application of engineering concepts to resolve faults or other performance issues according to the American Society of Civil Engineers. Forensic engineering also constitutes evidence to a court of law on the conclusions of these investigations. The results of the failure may give rise to a criminal or civil law case.

Brief Overview:
Why do products fail and who finds out why? Don’t miss out on positive mistakes! Identify the causes of the failure and make use of this information to reduce accidents. As a Certified forensic engineering Investigation, we enter the complex world of forensic engineering and examine how forensic engineer analyze product failure. From investigating a large structure to determining the reasons behind the failures in medical products, you will understand how the truth can be established. Also, what are the key steps, method and role of forensic engineer. We have a solid understanding of forensic engineering investigation to prepare the investigation report.
- Analyse the cause of failures in engineering products
- Recognize critical components of failure
- Understand the role, method and techniques used by a forensic engineer
- Find technical documents and product specification
- Accumulate data from various sources. Data collection ranging from online to overview of field investigations.
- Extract key information from standards, specifications, codes of practice, or technical literature and apply that information to product failures.
- Reporting findings about the most likely causes and consequences
- Draft a re-verifiable report of your investigation.
