Hands on Workshop on Teaching Forensic Engineering Teaching Students Critical Thinking by Investigative mindset

When teaching Engineering to students it is important that we not only teach about how to engineer new things but also look at the failures and performance problems from an engineering point-of-view. The field that studies this part of engineering is known as Forensic Engineering. The American Society of Civil Engineers defines this field as: “The application of engineering principles to the investigation of failures or other performance problems. Forensic engineering also involves testimony on the findings of these investigations before a court of law or other judicial forum, when required
