A quick definition of forensic engineering:

Forensic engineering is when an engineer uses their knowledge and skills to help with a legal case. They might be asked to explain technical information to a judge or jury, or to investigate an accident or failure to determine what went wrong. This can be important in helping to determine who is responsible for damages or injuries.

A more thorough explanation:

Forensic engineering is the application of engineering principles and analysis in legal cases. This is usually done through the testimony of an expert witness.

One example of forensic engineering is investigating the cause of a building collapse. An engineer may be called upon to determine if the collapse was due to a design flaw, construction error, or other factors.

Another example is analyzing the failure of a product, such as a car part or medical device. The engineer would use their expertise to determine if the failure was due to a manufacturing defect or improper use.

These examples illustrate how forensic engineering can be used to provide expert analysis and testimony in legal cases. By applying engineering principles, forensic engineers can help determine the cause of accidents or failures and provide valuable information for legal proceedings.

@getmoney: check the charts. We have already given you an answer multiple times.

Go to the school, Hofstra for example. Set the cycle to last year and sort the chart by date submitted. You can see when people who applied in December heard back last cycle
helloo everyone, does someone want to read one paragraph i wrote for GW law for the diversoty statement and tell me if it is good/bad?
In school, I was met with questions like, “Why are Muslim women oppressed?” or “Do you need bodyguards when you travel to Jordan?”
shoudl i keep those questions in there or is too much?

I would cut the questions and go in media res.

But, I guess it also depends on what the next few paragraphs are like. I personally am not a fan of rhetorical questions, as they're generally not well done, but they could work.
I like the questions but maybe italics instead of quotes so it feels more internal
like quotes are so blocky and chunky sometimes whereas italics feels more like seamless thoughts but I think that only works if it matches your writing style! I used rhetoricals in mine that way and it seems to have been working out okay
