CH 103 Introduction to Forensic Chemistry
It is an introductory level class meant to introduce the student to the basic concepts of Chemical Forensics. The purpose of this course is to provide students with an understanding of forensic science by examining the current techniques and instrumentations that are commonly used to analyze chemical, physical and biological evidence. This course will cover the basic science (emphasis on chemistry, physics and biology) that is required to understand these analytical techniques, but it assumes no prior science background from the students. In addition, this course will also examine the societal impact brought about by the advance of forensic science in various aspects of American society, including law, culture and media.
