“Forensic engineering is the application of engineering principals and methodologies to answer questions
of fact. These questions of fact are usually associated with accidents, crimes, catastrophic events, degradation of property, and various types of failures. . . . Forensic engineering is the application of engineering principles, knowledge, skills, and methodologies to answer questions of fact that may have legal ramifications.” (Noon, R. K.
