Forensic Engineer Resume

Getting into the detail of crime requires lots of insights. Since it is practically not possible for a single person to cover all the aspects of the crime, insurance companies and public and private detective agencies hire forensic engineers to get into the root causes of the incidences. These engineers are a graduate of science or engineering subject. Their duty is to collect information and perform research to know how, when, and what caused the crime. This type of investigative job is different in a way that the forensic engineers collect evidence related to engineering. For example, they may be called at an accident site to research and identify how fast the car that met the accident was traveling and in what direction. Another example would be of a collapsed building or flyover where these engineers would check the quality of the materials used in the construction and the external forces causing the fall of the structure.
