17. Our Uniqueness

Forensic engineering is the investigation of materials, products, structures or components that fail or do not operate or function as intended, causing personal injury or damage to property. The consequences of failure are dealt with by the law of product liability. The field also deals with retracing processes and procedures leading to accidents in operation of vehicles or machinery. The subject is applied most commonly in civil law cases, although it may be of use in criminal law cases. Generally, the purpose of a forensic engineering investigation is to locate cause or causes of failure with a view to improve performance or life of a component, or to assist a court in determining the facts of an accident. It can also involve investigation of intellectual property claims, especially patents.

As such, some of the uniqueness of this programme can be listed as follows:

This forensic engineering Master programme is focusing on the engineering aspect of forensic unlike others which are usually focussing on science aspect of forensic.

This programme involves four (4) major fields of engineering which are the Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical Engineering,

These four (4) above mentioned fields when integrated will become a complete field of forensic engineering since all failures are usually associated with and involve these four(4) fields.

The core and elective courses in this programme are designed and selected specifically so that they can be used to investigate and study a particular failure including identifying the cause, determining what has already happened, predicting the outcomes and suggesting the solution for prevention.

18. Career Prospects and Career Path

Forensic engineers apply scientific methodology to investigate the failures of materials, components, products and structures. Forensic engineers are usually called upon to isolate the specific reason or reasons a product, device or substance failed in order to improve the longevity or performance of the product or to improve its safety profile. Forensic engineers often are used in product liability cases, a type of civil court case, and, occasionally, criminal cases, to investigate and testify about the source of a product’s, design’s or object’s failure.

Most manufacturing models will have a forensic component that monitors early failures to improve quality or efficiencies. Insurance companies use forensic engineers to prove liability or nonliability. Most engineering disasters (structural failures such as bridge and building collapses) are subject to forensic investigation by engineers experienced in forensic methods of investigation. Rail crashes, aviation accidents, and some automobile accidents are investigated by forensic engineers in particular where component failure is suspected. Furthermore, appliances, consumer products, medical devices, structures, industrial machinery, and even simple hand tools such as hammers or chisels can warrant investigations upon incidents causing injury or property damages. The failure of medical devices is often safety-critical to the user, so reporting failures and analysing them is particularly important. The environment of the body is complex, and implants must both survive this environment, and not leach potentially toxic impurities. Problems have been reported with breast implants, heart valves, and catheters, for example. These are some of the applications of where forensic engineers are needed and sought after.

In general, it can be said that:

Since safety is usually the most important aspects in any situations, the need to have a personnel that has knowledge in forensic engineering is very essential.

The graduates of this programme can easily be hired or needed in many companies, industries or organizations.

Engineers from the four (4) fields involved can become the key person in any investigation related to failures.

Among the agencies that require the forensic engineering experts are Jabatan Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerja (JKKP), Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR), Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) and all local authorities.
