This lab-based course explores the fundamental principles of forensic science, focusing on energy transfer, wave behavior, and evidence analysis. Students develop computational models to analyze energy changes within forensic systems and conduct investigations to observe thermal energy distribution. The course also emphasizes the application of wave principles in forensic technologies and evaluates various methodologies for collecting and analyzing biological evidence, particularly DNA. By examining the organization of systems within multicellular organisms and the techniques for analyzing physical and trace evidence, students gain a comprehensive understanding of the scientific approaches used in forensic investigations.
