The National Academy of Forensic Engineers (NAFE) was founded in 1982 by Marvin M. Specter, P.E., L.S.; Paul E. Pritzker, P.E., and William A. Cox Jr., P.E. to identify and bring together professional engineers having qualifications and expertise as practicing forensic engineers to further their continuing education and promote high standards of professional ethics and excellence of practice. It seeks to improve the practice, elevate the standards, and advance the cause of forensic engineering. Full membership in the academy is limited to Registered Professional Engineers who are also members of the [[National Society of Professional Engineers]] (NSPE). They must also be members in an acceptable grade of a recognized major technical engineering society. NAFE also offers Affiliate grades of membership to those who do not yet qualify for Member grade.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NAFE - National Academy of Forensic Engineers |url=http://www.nafe.org/ |url-status=unfit |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100223091909/http://www.nafe.org/ |archive-date=2010-02-23 |website=NAFE - National Academy of Forensic Engineers}}</ref>  Full members are board-certified through the ''Council of Engineering and Scientific Specialty Boards''<ref>{{cite web |title=Accredited Certification Programs |url=https://www.cesb.org/accredited-programs |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200807173526/https://www.cesb.org/accredited-programs |archive-date=2020-08-07 |access-date=26 March 2024 |website=The Council of Engineering & Scientific Specialty Boards |publisher=CESB}}</ref> and earn the title "Diplomate of Forensic Engineering", or "DFE".
