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.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger
