Forensic Engineering. Development of a proposal for a post degree course

Abstract

Forensic Engineering includes subjects of chemistry, physics, geology, biology and other natural sciences. Their professionals must be able to articulate principles and fundamental theories of science to find out the causes of incidents with legal implications. Time moves in one direction by sweeping many of the details that could be important to clarify procedural cases. The details that are left behind make the data necessarily incomplete, sometimes strange and valued differently. Forensic Engineering tries, through scientific reasoning, to reconstruct the dark points of an account that leads to the causes of an incident. The aim of the project is to develop a postgraduate course in Forensic Engineering. For this, a thorough bibliographical search will be made of books, articles and courses on Forensic Engineering worldwide. The information that will be collected, will be analyzed and studied in order to be able to design the best contents, depending on their applicability to make expert reports. The need for the course comes from the fact that nowadays, a lot of people like lawyers, enterprises and private costumers are increasingly making contact with engineers in order to obtain forensic judgments. On the other hand, due to its demand, it is observed that the Forensic Science is becoming a specialty in many universities around the world
