Course Description A survey of scientific and biometric tools and applications used to establish human identity. Topics include identification of missing persons; casualties of mass disasters; victims of war crimes; and the ethical, legal and social implications of biometric technology.

Course goals and SLOs LO1 Describe the basic scientific and biometric tools and applications used to establish human identity. Students will be able to describe the basic concepts of pattern recognition, the context, application and significance in human identification and demonstrate an understanding of the probability and statistical calculations used in these methods. LO2 Explain the tools of modern molecular biology and their applications in identification of criminals, human remains/missing persons and paternity. LO3 Apply knowledge of biometric patterns, impressions and imaging in analytical activities including fingerprints, bones, and facial reconstruction and demonstrate analytical problem solving skills using the scientific method in oral and written reports. LO4 Describe the concepts of ethical, legal and social issues in the application of forensic biometrics to human identification and recognition.
