Most engineering curricula lack forensic engineering content, particularly the role of science in investigation and assessment, engineering failures and cause-and-effect analysis, and jurisprudence as it relates to engineering. Forensic Engineering for Academia addresses these and other important aspects of forensic engineering education. Mainly structured as two parts: (1) Forensic Engineering (FE) and Jurisprudence, and (2) FE Practice, the first introduces the practice of forensic engineering, presents investigation methods and analysis, describes the expert witness and how to become one, introduces the legal system regarding FE, and discusses reporting and communication liability. The second part covers a variety of practical applications for different FE disciplines through specific examples and experiences. Student solutions will be compared to industry practices with consideration for liability and loss prevention. Further, the book explains the importance of standard of care and performance evaluation as they relate to design and failure, and how to avoid becoming a defendant.
- Includes a summary table of concepts, terminology, and exercises, and practical case studies in each chapter.
- Discusses the importance of professional ethics in the field of forensic engineering.
- Includes Digital Learning Resources: adaptable lecture slides, test and quiz banks, and links to additional resources.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
大多數工程學程都缺乏鑑識工程（Forensic Engineering）的相關內容，尤其是科學在調查與評估中的作用、工程失效與因果分析，以及與工程相關的法理學。《學術界的鑑識工程》探討上述議題及鑑識工程教育的其他重要面向。本書主要分為兩個部分：（1）鑑識工程（FE）與法理學；（2）鑑識工程實務。第一部分介紹鑑識工程的實務，說明調查方法與分析方式，描述專家證人及成為專家證人的途徑，介紹與鑑識工程相關的法律制度，並討論報告撰寫、溝通及其責任。第二部分則透過具體案例與實務經驗，涵蓋不同鑑識工程領域的各種實際應用。書中也會將學生的解答與業界實務進行比較，並考量責任歸屬與損失預防。此外，本書說明注意義務標準（standard of care）與績效評估在設計及失效相關議題中的重要性，以及如何避免成為被告。
- 每章均包含概念、術語與練習的摘要表，以及實務案例研究。
- 討論專業倫理在鑑識工程領域中的重要性。
- 提供數位學習資源：可調整的授課投影片、測驗與小考題庫，以及其他資源連結。
