WELCOME
Welcome to the web page of the Forensics and
Failure Analysis Technical Committee (FFATC) of IEEE's Product Safety
Engineering Society (PSES). This committee targets technical
professionals and engineers interested in forensics and failure
analysis of electrical products. The IEEE/PSES Forensics and Failure
Analysis Technical Committee provides a focus on forensics and
failure analysis engineering. The committee will help facilitate
the understanding of investigation procedure, failure analysis, failure
modes, root cause, corrective action, etc. of electrical device
incidents. It allows engineers and other technical professionals an
opportunity to discuss and disseminate technical information, to
enhance professional skills, and to provide outreach to engineers,
students and others with an interest in the field. Find out about
membership and the benefits of being an IEEE /PSES member and Forensics
and Failure Analysis Technical Committee subscriber.
