Forensic Engineer Courses

A Forensic Engineer examines structures to determine the cause of problems. You might look at areas where structures have failed, assess damage and determine a cause. Forensic Engineers may decide if problems can be fixed or make other recommendations. You might prepare reports or statements on your findings.

Forensic Engineers require excellent attention to detail and strong analytical abilities. You’ll need to be able to follow correct procedures and come up with solutions to a range of problems. Forensic Engineers must be able to communicate clearly with various stakeholders and work as part of a larger team.
