Educational Objective: Introducing students with technical-technological sciences and their application in the field of forensics and forensic engineering. Acquisition of theoretical and experimental knowledge in the field of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, technology. Introduction to the methods of research (analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction), modeling methods, black box methods, informational methods and methods of technical diagnostics.

Projected Outcome: Students gain insight into the possibility of applying modern research methods, methods of diagnostics and testing (visual, magnetoflux, ultrasound, radiographic, measurement of surface hardness of materials, testing of welded joints (without destruction), etc.). Acquired knowledge provides an adequate approach in solving concrete cases in the technical-technological field (and forensics), using methods of various engineering branches, as well as the possibility of developing and developing methods for specific purposes.
