ABSTRACT
Forensic Science is the application of science to crimes that are enforced by the police agencies in a criminal justice system. Forensic engineering is the application of engineering principles and methodologies to answer questions of fact. These facts are usually associated with road accident reconstruction, industrial accidents, failure analysis and cases involving fire and explosion.. Initially, only the end result is known. This might be a burned-out house, damaged machinery, collapsed structure, wrecked vehicle, fire or explosion site. Forensic engineering is similar to failure analysis and root cause analysis with respect to the science and engineering methodologies employed. Often the terms are used interchangeably. In a laboratory setting, it is usual to design experiments where the variable being studied in not obscured plicated by other effects acting simultaneously. The variable is singled out to be from other influences. Various experiments are then conducted to determine what occurs when variable is changed. Numerous tests of the effects of changing the variable provide a statistical basis for concluding how the variable works, and predicting what will occ
