This course covers handling evidence, fingerprint identification, footprint identification, microscopic and trace element examination; and fire, structural failure, vehicular accident, crime scene, and various nondestructive material investigations. The laboratory instructs students in the techniques and science used and allows the student to judge which are the best techniques for determining important facts surrounding the event in question.
