法医科学

课堂内外

The 法医科学 program applies scientific concepts to legal matters, 连接科学和法律的世界. Your classes will teach you the skills you’ll use on the job, and you’ll practice them at virtual and in-person simulated crime scenes. 研究 is a critical part of expanding methodologies used in forensic science, 你将有机会进行研究，帮助扩展该领域使用的技术. You also can join student organizations that help you network and give back to the community.

体验式教育

您的课程由在该领域拥有多年经验的教授授课，并随着法医学的发展紧跟新发展. 每门课程都是为了让你身临其境, engaging experience that parallels real-life scenarios you’ll encounter in your career. 例如:

犯罪现场摄影, 你将学习数码相机的组成部分, 学会记录室内和室外场景, and practice photographing wounds on faux body parts, 为你的工作创建一个作品集. 您还将使用虚拟现实耳机在虚拟环境中查看照片，以探索在犯罪现场的沉浸式体验. 

《365bet足球比分》1 & II, you’ll assess and document mock crime scenes that simulate common field experiences. You’ll also process simulated evidence with field and laboratory techniques. Some of these mock crime scenes are staged in person, either on the main St. 爱德华的 campus or at the 野生盆地创意研究中心. 为他人, 你将使用虚拟现实耳机或电脑在模拟犯罪现场调查证据——比如发现尸体的酒店房间——点击带有嵌入式照片和案件信息的热点.

《野外法医学, you’ll explore the distinct challenges for investigating crimes committed outdoors. 你将批判性地分析影响户外犯罪现场的环境因素，并学习在法医植物学中评估样本, 土壤恢复与分析, 和人类学.

《科学与法律的原理与实践》, 您将探索科学界和法律界的思想和实践之间的相互作用. 扮演专家证人的角色, you’ll prepare to present a piece of forensic evidence in a mock criminal trial. You’ll also pose as an attorney, calling the “expert” to testify.

出国留学

科学史与科学哲学, 法医学专业的必修课, 在校内和国外都学过吗. 在伦敦和爱丁堡教书时, 这门课的重点是医学和疾病的历史，以及它如何与犯罪的历史相关联. Students in the course visited sites in London related to scientific and medical history, 包括亚历山大·弗莱明博物馆, which showcases the laboratory where Fleming discovered penicillin. They also visited the Surgeons’ Hall Museums in Edinburgh, 哪一个有病理解剖标本的收藏和一个带互动解剖台的解剖剧场.

学生组织

The Forensic Association Committed to Truth – SEU F.A.C.T. for short – is the student organization dedicated to forensic science and meets biweekly. Members build their networks and learn about careers. F.A.C.T. 还举办有趣的合作活动，让您有机会探索其他基于科学的领域, 比如与美国化学学会分会合作，进行诡异的万圣节主题实验.

圣. 爱德华的 刑事司法 Club is a chapter of the American 刑事司法 Association, αλε. The club meets twice a month to hear guest speakers, 去实地考察, offer community service and complete training together.

圣. 爱德华所在的美国化学会的学生附属分会会邀请演讲嘉宾谈论他们的研究, industry jobs and the ins and outs of graduate school. 成员们在ACS西南地区会议上做志愿者，并在海报上展示他们的研究成果, 他们还前往其他大学参加高级仪器研讨会的实践培训. SEU ACS also hosts social and fun events like tie-dyeing lab coats and movie nights.

服务

法医学专业的学生已经为六年级学生的STEM外展项目工作了几年. 圣. 爱德华的 students create crime-scene kits that the younger students use to solve a case. 该项目鼓励中小学生对科学事业产生好奇.
