Forensic Engineer

Forensic engineers are professionals who use scientific and engineering principles to analyze physical evidence and determine the cause of a failure or an accident. In legal cases, they are called upon to provide expert testimony in court. Forensic engineers are used in the investigation of many types of cases including automobile accidents, structural collapses, plane and helicopter crashes, explosions, fires, criminal cases, and product liability cases. Their investigations and analyses help to provide impartial and reliable evidence to ensure the full development of the case. This evidence can be used for legal proceedings and/or to identify and prevent further incidents.
