Abstract :
The forensic engineer presents knowledge gained through engineering, education, and experience to a judge and a jury in terms they hopefully will comprehend. For it is the jury who ultimately decides the disputesuch decisions often carry very great consequences. This career is certainly not for everyone. Even extremely competent electrical engineers are sometimes ineffective in a litigious environment of critical review. However, for those who have the aptitude, there can be substantial professional recognition and recompense.
