Main Goals/Topics of Discussion

The goals of forensic engineers tend to range from simplistic to complex, as with most disciplines of forensic science. They can hope to discover when something happened, how something happened, the sequence of events up to the accident, or all three. The group that moderates and maintains a basis for these engineers is the ASTM, who determines the proper course of action required to ensure an accurate investigation.

So for the breakdown we have:
- Determine Origin
- Determine Cause
- Determine Preceding Events

All of these can be quite essential investigation topics, especially when dealing with high-profile cases. Some popular cases that involved the use of a forensic engineering firm include the accident that killed Princess Diana.
