Editor’s Note

Many projects and activities are underway in the ASCE Technical Council on Forensic Engineering (TCFE). For a complete history of the activities of the Technical Council on Forensic Engineering, see K. L. Carper’s “Technical Council on Forensic Engineering: Twenty-Year Retrospective Review,” in Forensic Engineering: Proceedings of the Third Congress, P. Bosela, N. Delatte, and K. Rens, editors, published in 2003 by the American Society of Civil Engineers, Reston, Va. New ideas and new members who are willing to contribute are always welcomed by each of the TCFE committees. TCFE maintains an Executive Committee, an Awards Committee, and six standing committees:

All TCFE committees plan to meet during the annual ASCE Conference in Orlando, Florida, November 3–4, 2007. If you plan to attend the conference, this would be an excellent opportunity to attend TCFE committee meetings and initiate membership with the Council. Should you wish to be informed as to the time and date of the meetings, please let me know. I will see that you are included in the informational mailing list when the schedule is determined.
