In the Forensic Science
CPU, students complete in-depth explorations of forensic science
and many of its sub-fields, including forensic medicine, odontology,
pathology, chemistry, and toxicology.
Students discover the usefulness of DNA evidence and electrophoresis
through an easy to understand simulation. They are also exposed to
common forensic laboratory procedures, such as blood type determination,
blood type matching, drug identification, and
urinalysis. Although
students practice proper safety precautions during the procedures, these
experiments use harmless, simulated chemicals to protect students while
giving them a real-world, hands-on experience.
Students also utilize the latest
software to enhance their learning experience through multimedia
presentations, movies, and interactive activities.
