The role of a forensic engineer is to investigate the damage to a structure or structures, attempt to determine causation of the problem and often to  develop repair recommendations.  The forensic engineer must be an expert in their field and have a through knowledge of the issue under investigation and applicable engineering fundamentals.  The engineer will use evidence collected at the site such as:  structural or subsurface testing data, measurements, observations, etc. to arrive at their final conclusions.
