KIECKHEFER FOUNDATION FORENSIC LAB
BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Infinite Opportunities At Embry-Riddle, the opportunities to grow and learn on campus are infinite. We believe in the importance of hands- on learning in addition to classroom instruction. Our campus has laboratories in every discipline where students have access to state-of-the-art technology that typical undergraduates don’t. Other labs within the College of Arts and Sciences include the Chemistry Lab, Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) Optics Lab, Modern Physics and Optics Lab, Particle Physics Lab and the Simulation Science, Games and Animation Lab. Embry-Riddle Prescott’s on-campus opportunities even transcend physical space. The Cold Case Task Force is open to all students across campus and serves as a capstone option for Forensic Psychology students. Founded by a Forensic Psychology student and a Forensic Science faculty member, the Cold Case Task Force encourages students to use research methods and open-source intelligence to investigate unsolved cases with fresh perspectives and approaches.
Discovery Through Experimentation
The Kieckhefer Foundation Forensic Lab offers you space to learn and apply forensic science techniques, scientific analysis and investigative methods to criminal and civil cases, as well as security and intelligence studies. Students conduct experiments in anthropology, entomology, ballistics and criminalistics, while also learning to perform firearms examinations, bloodstain pattern analysis, bullet trajectory experiments and trace evidence examinations. Students learn fingerprinting methods and DNA sequencing processes, conduct crime scene searches and collect physical evidence. They have the opportunity to put their skills to the test by processing a mock crime and forming a hypothesis of what may have happened through collecting evidence and performing forensic lab tests. This lab features various forensic test kits and materials, including compound microscopes, a Spectrophotometer and a fuming chamber, and offers access to analytical devices such as NMR, GC-MS, FTIR and XRF instruments.
