About ABFET

Forensic engineering involves the application of the art and science of engineering in matters related to the law. It covers an investigation beginning with the problem, through analysis and modeling, and then on to testing and simulation of failure conditions. Specialty areas in forensic engineering include fire investigation, industrial accidents, product liability, traffic accidents, civil engineering and transportation disasters, and environmental systems failures. Technology is that portion of the engineering and scientific fields that provides the means by which the investigative process is performed. Technology provides forensic engineers with the equipment, tools, materials, and products that they use to analyze, model, test, and simulate failure conditions. The failure of technological devices can be the cause of the investigative incident, and technology can provide the tools used during the investigation of the incident. Technology is the result of engineering and scientific advances and is also the means by which those advances occur and by which they are then subsequently analyzed.
