  • Abstract
    Roger L. Boyell says forensic engineering is a great job - if you can take the pressure.He´s part of a growing cadre of engineers who are trading steady paychecks and corporate environments for the often solitary and occasionally adrenaline- inducing position of expert witness. It´s their job to evaluate engineering systems, products, and devices and explain them in layman´s terms in a courtroom.
