ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
Watch for the certificates icon. It indicates a course is part of an SAE International curriculum based, multi-course certificate program. Complete this certificate program to become more proficient in vehicle crash/accident reconstruction. This program fosters an understanding of the fundamentals of crash mechanics, vehicle dynamics and kinematics, and the influence of vehicle systems and sub-systems on these elements. Required courses guide you through crash reconstruction methods, vehicle dynamics, and event data recorder (EDR) technology; then select the electives that meet your individual technical interest area. Complete this certificate program to earn eight credits towards the SAE/Kettering University 20-credit Certificate in Automotive Systems or Kettering’s 40-credit M.S. in Mechanical Engineering. Get more information at: sae.org/learn/professional- development/certifications/kettering . Required Courses are a good place to start but courses do not have to be taken in a specific order. You must complete the entire program within 7 years after completing the first course. Complete the required courses: • Applying Automotive EDR Data to Traffic Crash Reconstruction (I.D.# C1210) or Accessing and Interpreting Heavy Vehicle Event Data Recorders (I.D.# C1022) • Vehicle Crash Reconstruction Principles and Technology (I.D.# C1728) • Vehicle Dynamics for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks (classroom I.D.# 99020; on-demand I.D.# PD130702ON) or Applied Vehicle Dynamics (I.D.# C0414) And choose three electives: • Accident Reconstruction, the Autonomous Vehicle and ADAS (I.D.# C1869) • Advanced Vehicle Dynamics for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks (I.D.# C0415) • Basic Tire Mechanics and Inspections (I.D.# C1423) • Hydraulic Brake Systems for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks (I.D.# C0509) • High-Performance Brake Systems (I.D.# C0718) • Introduction to Brake Control Systems: ABS, TCS, and ESC (classroom I.D.# C0315; on-demand I.D.# PD730501) • Tire Forensic Analysis (I.D.# C1424) • Tire and Wheel Safety Issues (I.D.# C0102) • The Tire as a Vehicle Component (I.D.# C0101) • Injuries, Anatomy, Biomechanics & Federal Regulation (I.D.# 85049) • Commercial Vehicle Braking Systems (I.D.# C1417) • Fundamentals of Automotive All-Wheel Drive Systems (classroom I.D.# C0305; on-demand I.D.# PD730556) • Reconstruction and Analysis of Rollover Crashes of Light Vehicles (I.D.# C1502) • Reconstruction and Analysis of Motorcycle Crashes (I.D.# C1506) • Photogrammetry and Analysis of Digital Media (I.D.# C1712) • Applying Automotive EDR Data to Traffic Crash Reconstruction – if not taken as a required course (I.D.# C1210) • Accessing and Interpreting Heavy Vehicle Event Data Recorders – if not taken as a required course (I.D.# C1022) Courses no longer offered by SAE are still eligible if taken within the allowed time frame: • Chassis and Suspension Component Design for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks (I.D.# 95025) • Introduction to Heavy Truck Tire, Steering, and Suspension Dynamics (I.D.# C1209) • Fundamentals of Heavy Truck Dynamics (I.D.# C0837)
