Description
This course is designed to teach the student the necessary skills to conduct a thorough traffic crash investigation and properly document findings for courtroom presentation. Proper procedures for measuring, scale diagramming, and photographing will be reviewed in order to record physical evidence and essential facts available only at the crash scene. The fundamentals of mathematics, physics, and engineering as they pertain to crash investigations and the proper mathematical equations to apply for the type of crash being investigated will be incorporated. Students will learn to analyze the information to determine what happened before, during, and after the collision. Prerequisite: CJUS-112.
