The group also facilitates the exchange of specialized information related to forensic engineering among its members, and seeks to establish a high level of professional standards in the forensic engineering industry. Forensic engineering is the investigation of failures and accidents to determine their cause or causes. The practice of forensic engineering consists of careful observations of failures and accidents, determination of the engineering principles involved in the failure or accident, and evaluation of the conditions, actions, and mechanisms that caused the failure or accident. In the civil engineering field, forensic engineers evaluate construction accidents, construction defects, vehicle accidents, structural and geotechnical failures, waterproofing and roofing failures, and flooding. The Forensic Engineering Technical Group was formed as a professional society for civil engineers who practice in the forensic engineering field, or who would like to learn more about forensic engineering. Their website was launched to provide a vehicle for promoting the Forensic Engineering Technical Group's ideals, and for enhanced communication among its members and the community at large.
