Introduction to Forensic Science
(Complementary course - not open to Science students)
Crime Science Investigation (CSI) is a popular theme in
television and film, but they usually do not explain how
forensic scientists are able to collect information and
help identify the perpetrator. This course introduces
students to the science behind some of the basic
techniques used in Forensics, such as Chemical Analysis,
Blood Typing, DNA Fingerprinting, and Collision Analysis.
This interdisciplinary course examines various aspects of
forensic science from the perspective of Biology,
Chemistry and Physics. It will be taught by a group of
three teachers, one from each discipline, who will focus
on how scientific methods can be applied to improve the
reliability of evidence from a crime scene.
