Description: Demonstrates a systematic method of investigating an explosion scene. Provides instruction in explosives identification, applications, effects, fragmentation analysis, IED component recognition and evidence collection, including DNA. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Forensic Sciences
Description: initial course in chosen specialty, permission of advisor and program director, and letter of agreement or contract with designated facility or laboratory. Provides practical training and experience within a work or laboratory setting under the guidance of a designated supervisor. This experience should complement graduate studies in the forensic sciences and support related career goals. Note: requires four hours per week at internship site for each credit hour of enrollment; eight hours per credit for summer session. Offered for variable credit, 1-3 credit hours, maximum of 3 credit hours. Credit hours: 1-3 Contact hours: Other: 1 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Independent Study Department/School: Forensic Sciences FRNS 5103 The Chemistry of Pyrotechnics Prerequisites: Permission of instructor and faculty advisor. Description: Provide students with a fundamental knowledge of the chemistry of pyrotechnics/low explosives intended to function as propellants, or generate pyrotechnic effects such as light, heat, sound, smoke and color. Emphasizes chemical and thermodynamic principles required to formulate these compositions and which determine their
performance. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture
Department/School: Forensic Sciences FRNS 5113 The Chemistry of Explosives Prerequisites: Permission of Instructor and Faculty Advisor.
Description: Provides a fundamental knowledge of the chemistry of energetic materials. Included will be low explosives that are intended to function as propellants, or generate pyrotechnic effects such as light, heat, sound and color. Emphasizes chemical and thermodynamic principles required to formulate these compositions and which determine their performance. Examines the chemistry of high explosives and high explosive formulations, and their effects will be examined.
