CEBI 0600 - The Laboratory Detective

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

DNA, hair, fibers! These are just a few pieces of evidence that students will collect and analyze during The Laboratory Detective course. Students will begin the week learning the true meanings of forensics and forensic evidence. Direct and latent fingerprints, physical and biological evidence, computer forensics and video analysis will be some of the topics covered by both the instructor and law enforcement experts. The capstone experience will be a crime scene investigation conducted by students. During the investigation, crime scenes will be secured, suspects will be interviewed, evidence will be “bagged and tagged” and the plot will twist and turn. DNA analysis and evidence analysis will then be conducted in the laboratory in order to determine whether the students have enough probable cause to arrest and retain their suspects. Scientific method, scientific reasoning and advanced forensic techniques will be the focal points of this course.
