NAFE is pleased to provide three resources for continuing education. Our live conferences and peer reviewed publication system mean this content is constantly growing, reliable, and remains current. All NAFE members are all are board certified diplomates in Forensic Engineering as well as licensed engineers in a wide variety of disciplines, so we are sure to have something for everyone:
Peer Reviewed Journal
The Journal of the National Academy of Forensic Engineers is a peer-reviewed publication dedicated to supporting forensic engineering in all engineering disciplines. Many of the articles are available at no cost to the public.
On-Demand Continuing Education
NAFE is pleased to provide on-line continuing education on general forensic engineering practice, the jurisprudence system, and the unique skills required to effectively educate the finder(s) of fact. View and purchase our current library of presentations.
If you are interested in learning more about Forensic Engineering in general, we provide a FREE introduction to the industry and NAFE.
Finally, NAFE is proud to provide access to real-world Ethics education based on the Engineering Code of Ethics and actual NSPE Board of Ethical Review Cases.
Conferences
Twice each year, NAFE hosts a unique engineering education and networking conference. Our members and guests meet in different locations around the US for two full days of Forensic Engineering seminars, networking, and collaboration. Each in-person conference represents 14 hours of continuing education credits on technical material and professional development.
