4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the scientific fields, principles, instrumentation, and methods found in a modern full-service forensic laboratory. Both the lecture and laboratory emphasize various applications of scientific methods and expertise to the examination and analysis of physical evidence used to assist the courts in making legal decisions. The contributions of forensic pathology, toxicology, biology, chemistry and engineering are covered and relevant laboratory tests are demonstrated or conducted. Legal and ethical issues in forensic science are included, as well as a site visit to a crime laboratory. Prerequisites: Any college chemistry course or SCI 1101 and SCI 1102 Biology and Lab. Corequisite: SCI1641.
-
2.00 Credits
Laboratory sessions in forensic science include observation, hypothesis development and testing, measurement and data collection, experimentation, and evaluation and analysis of evidence collected from crime scenes, from suspects, and from victims. Labs include examination, qualitative and quantitative analysis of physical evidence such as documents, inks, and papers; illicit drugs and poisons; blood and other bodily fluids; hair and fibers; tire and toolmarks; evidence collected in postmortem examinations; and microanalysis of trace evidence. Students learn accident reconstruction techniques, handwriting analysis and procedures for pre-sentence investigations. Corequisite: SCI 1640.
-
3.00 Credits
Students study the state of the world and its future direction as determined by the driving forces of science, technology and overall human activity and their relationships to world ecology. Students discuss the interactions among science policy, technology, politics and economics. They also study the potential for sustainable human civilization.Crosslisted as SBS 1701.
-
