NAFE’s “Ethics for Forensic Engineers

A resident of both the Caribbean island of St. John and the Long Island hamlet of Syosset, New York, Paul Angelides has operated his own construction engineering firm for the past 32 years. To augment his professional activities, Paul Angelides holds membership in the National Academy of Forensic Engineers.

As part of its overarching mission to support the forensic engineering profession, the National Academy of Forensic Engineers (NAFE) offers jurisprudential system certification to qualified individuals. It also supports educational efforts as a publisher of peer-reviewed technical literature and a sponsor of various professional development programs and events. For example, NAFE offers a series of presentations on demand through its website.

One of these presentations, “Ethics for Forensic Engineers,” takes a close look at the Code of Ethics of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) and related cases of the NSPE Board of Ethical Review. Using these sources as a springboard, presenter Samuel Sudler, PE, IntPE, CFEI, CVFI, examined the moral challenges that professionals typically face in the field of forensic engineering.
