Forensic Engineer

Forensic engineers are experts who interpret physical evidence using their specific knowledge of engineering, whether it is civil, electrical, mechanical, etc. They might, for example, reconstruct a construction-site accident to determine its cause, and thus, help to establish which parties are legally responsible. Forensic engineers also can be involved in the investigation of intellectual property claims, especially patents.

Forensic engineers are well known for their professional investigations of materials, products, structures or components that fail or do not operate/function as intended, causing personal injury or damage to property. The consequences of failure are dealt with by the law of product liability.

For construction, an important aspect of this field deals with retracing processes and procedures leading to accidents in the operation of vehicles or machinery. Generally, the purpose of a forensic engineering investigation is to locate the cause or causes of failure with a view to improve the performance or life of a component or to assist a court in determining the facts of an accident.

Forensic engineers employ a variety of methods in their investigations, including reverse engineering, inspection of witness statements, a working knowledge of current standards, as well as an examination of the failed component itself.

For example, fatigue often produces a characteristic fracture surface that enables the forensic engineer to diagnose the cause of the failure. The key task in many such investigations is to identify the failure mechanism by examining the failed part using physical and chemical techniques. This activity is sometimes called root cause analysis. Corrosion is another common failure mode needing careful analysis to determine the active agents in the environment that initiated the corrosive attack.

Accidents caused by fire are especially challenging owing to the frequent loss of critical evidence, although when halted early enough can usually lead to the cause. Fire investigation is a specialist skill where arson is suspected, but is also important in vehicular accident reconstruction where faulty fuel lines, for example, may be the cause of an accident.
