CHED 1687 |
| Forensic Science course has been developed at MCTC as part of the Associate degree programs in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Criminal Justice, subsequent to the training received through NSF-sponsored CWCS workshop at Williams College, MA, offered by Professor Lawrence J. Kaplan and in consultation with Professor Ram L. Sreerama, St.Cloud State University, MN. The course will utilize mock-crime scenarios, which will provide learning opportunities in crime scene investigation methods and evidentiary materials for laboratory experiments. Collaboration with the Computer Forensics and Theater Arts faculty of MCTC through Faculty Excellence Awards and with Criminal Justice department, has allowed incorporation of not only forensic science elements but also mock cyber-crime elements and mock-trial scenarios, facilitating broader learning opportunities. A collaboration initiated with the University of Minnesota's NSF funded Characterization Facility will enable remote and on-site use of SEM, FTIR-ATR, AFM and other instruments not supportable by MCTC, for advanced forensic laboratory techniques. |
