Forensic engineering is a specialized field that applies engineering principles to investigate failures or accidents. It involves analyzing structures, materials, and systems to determine the cause of incidents, such as building collapses or product malfunctions. Forensic engineers often work with legal teams to provide expert testimony in court cases. This discipline combines knowledge from various engineering branches, including civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and materials science. Forensic engineers may also collaborate with professionals in law enforcement and insurance to assess damages and liability. Their findings help improve safety standards and prevent future incidents.
