-
3.00 Credits
This serves as a gateway course for the students who are interested in pursuing a major or minor in Forensic Biology. The course will employ hands-on learning activities, group work, and the traditional lecture format to convey the course material. The course will begin with an overview on the field of Forensic Science and specialty areas in the field (i.e., forensic pathology, entomology, etc). The general principles of crime scene investigation, collection and handling of evidence, and chain of custody will be discussed in detail as students need to understand the basic legalities of forensic investigation. The course will also explore the different field and career opportunities in forensics. Cannot be used as an elective for Biology majors.Credit, three hours.
-
1.00 Credits
The course provides a theoretical and practical training of standard biomedical equipment that includes safety, instrument operations, data analysis, and troubleshooting.
-
3.00 Credits
The course is a hands-on lab that will introduce students to the biological and laboratory aspects of forensic and investigative science including blood typing, DNA extraction and fingerprinting, hair and fiber analysis, time of death determination, the use of the microscope, and drug/alcohol and toxicology testing. Labs include DNA fingerprinting, hair and fiber analysis, blood and saliva testing, and human bone and muscle identification. Cannot be used as an elective for Biology majors.Prerequisites: BIOL 102, BIOL 210, BIOL 225.Credit, three hours.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 102 AND BIOL 210 AND BIOL 225
-
4.00 Credits
Credits, three hours.
Prerequisite:
MTSC 121
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course will provide students with an in depth knowledge of the many emerging technologies in forensic science. This course will focus on newer and automated techniques for DNA extraction, DNA quantitation, amplification, and sequencing. This course will describe the capabilities and limitations of each instrument and multiplex kit, the differences between extraction, amplification, and sequencing kits and instruments, and the use of proper sterile procedures to avoid the many pitfalls of incorrect handling of instruments. Other topics that will be covered include next generation sequencing, direct amplification methods, methods in analysis, the importance of proper reagent controls, and relevant forensic journal articles.
Prerequisite:
(BIOL 101 AND BIOL 102 OR BIOL 201) AND BIOL 210
-
1.00 Credits
This course will provide students with a range of skills and general techniques that will prepare them for participating in their Capstone research. This course will include a focus on safety in the laboratory and the common operational skills such as making solutions, dilutions, as well as the proper use and calibration of balances, pH meters, and pipettes. An emphasis will be placed on proper laboratory record keeping procedures in the context of good laboratory practices. The course will serve as an elective for sophomore and higher students who state they want to strengthen their laboratory skills.
-
