This paper relates the experiences of lecturers at Delft University of Technology in the designing and running of a Master course in Forensic Engineering. Rather than traditional face-to-face lectures, use of real-life evidence-based learning was made in the form of training for and execution of a mock aircraft accident investigation. The culmination of this learning experience for the students was the group exam, which took the form of the examination of a recreated accident scene. Students were required to organize their investigation groups, document the scene, and collect evidence while on scene. Subsequently, they were given time to analyze the results and prepare a standard accident investigation report. Evaluation results show satisfied students and good learning outcomes, making this a course worth repeating.
