ABOUT THE COURSE
This course provides engineers of all disciplines with an insight into the field of Forensics Engineering. This course has been authored and is presented by a recognized expert in the field of forensics engineering. In this course, Mr. Ayub illustrates the principles, strategy and process of forensics engineering through the discussion on relatively recent high profile structural and mechanical failures that resulted in catastrophes and unfortunate loss of life. Mr. Ayub meticulously analyzes the accident sites, the aftermath, and the evidence, with expert acumen to drill through the facts as well as occlusions to arrive at the root cause of the failures. Mr. Ayub personally led the investigations of some of the incidents he analyzes in this course. The analysis and discussion of the high profile cases is supported by review of pertinent drawings and other documentation. While most of the forensics engineering cases discussed in this course are related to civil and structural engineering and design, the forensics engineering methodology, strategy and approach conveyed by Mr. Ayub transcends the discipline bounds and demarcation and can be utilized in almost any other discipline.

This course is designed for engineers, licensed professional engineers, energy professionals, engineering managers, technical professionals, facilities managers and other professionals who are not intimately familiar or current on forensics engineering principles and practices. No prerequisite required. Since this course takes you from fundamentals on up, even non-engineers – with some math and science background - can take away a commensurate amount of forensics engineering knowledge. Board acceptance guarantee. Participants are kept engaged through questions and answers, discussions and classwork.

Super cute
The shelf is cute, and super easy to set-up. Be careful with the screws, I stripped the magnet screw/hole a little bit. Street that I was a little weary on over-tightening the four corners of each shelf. Make sure you use the wall straps bc it will be a little wobbly.

Great shelf

Very impressed with this! It was very easy for me to put together without any help. Very sturdy pieces and seems well made. Really can’t beat the quality for the price! The glass door on the bottom really dresses up this shelf. I will probably buy more of these for other rooms in my house.

Elegant shelf, easy assembly!
Color: White, Size: 4 Tier(10.7 x 15 x 40.8 Inches), Color: White, Size: 4 Tier(10.7 x 15 x 40.8 Inches)
I almost returned this because I didn’t think I could put it together, but the step by step picture instructions were easy to follow, and I assembled this in about 50 minutes, taking my time and also wiping down each wood piece so it would be ready to go once finished. This came packed very well and no parts were missing or messed up. It’s very elegant looking for being inexpensive and just what I needed budget wise and style wise. It is sturdy and beautiful and I like it very much and am glad I kept it, it is worth it!

Very easy to put together. Lightweight, great for what I was looking for. Holds a lot of books and perfect for me. I didn't want a heavy clunky bookcase.
