Forensic Electrical Engineering is a specialized field that combines electrical engineering principles with forensic investigation techniques. Its primary goal is to analyze electrical accidents—such as fires caused by short circuits or equipment failures—and determine whether they were accidental or intentional.<br /><br />Engineers in this field inspect damaged circuits, wiring, and electrical components, use advanced diagnostic tools to trace the root cause, and produce technical reports that support legal proceedings.<br /><br />This discipline plays a vital role in preventing future accidents, improving safety standards, and promoting accountability in industrial and residential settings.<br /><br />Related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):<br /><br />Goal 9: Build resilient infrastructure and foster innovation by improving the safety of electrical systems.<br /><br />Goal 11: Make cities and communities safer by reducing risks from electrical hazards.<br /><br />Goal 16: Promote justice and strong institutions by providing scientifically accurate evidence in legal cases.<br /><br /><br />Al-Mustaqbal University – the first university in Iraq.<br /><br /><a href=https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/ar/peace-justice/ target=_blank>SDGS 16</a>
