DAY 1
a professional who investigates materials, products, or structural components that fail or do not operate or function as intended, causing personal injury or damage to property.
FORENSICS ENGINEER
What was the first activity of the day?
Tool impressions
the art and science of determining crash causes and events from known circumstances and available physical evidence
Crash Reconstruction
Determines how acidic or basic a solution is
Ph Scale
a machine designed to detect and record changes in physiological characteristics, such as a person's pulse and breathing rates, used especially as a lie detector
Polygraph
a molecule that encodes genetic information and determine each person’s unique physical characteristics
DNA
What was the second activity?
Tire tracks
a ramp, one end must be higher than the other
Incline plane
