The course will instruct you in the various procedures and techniques used for engineering investigation of transport incidents and accidents involving air, rail and marine systems taking into consideration relevant underpinning regulations, standards and recommended practices.

The main component of the course will be the application of specialist engineering techniques used to examine the various sources/forms of evidence that maybe generated during the course of a transport safety investigation.

Sources of evidence may be: from information including on-board and off-board systems, how materials, structures and propulsion systems can malfunction or fail and how event reconstruction in the field and through laboratory forensic methods can be used to find contributing factors to the incident and/or factors that increase risk.

Lastly, guidance will be given on the preferred reporting methods used in the elaboration of technical reports supporting the investigation of transport-incidents and accident findings.
