Crash Dynamics.

Catalog description

The purpose of this course is to increase teacher candidates' understanding of the causes, effects, and dynamics of motor vehicle crashes. Teacher candidates will be introduced to crash scene analysis and reconstruction, including the forces involved and mechanisms of injury to people and vehicles, an analysis of vehicle damage and injury profiles, and applicable statutes. The course requires practical applications of mathematics and physics. Graduate credit requirements are described in the course syllabus. If this class is taken at the 500 level, it is a graduate course and expectations for student performance are at an advanced level. Evaluation of course requirements is more rigorous than at the lower division section of this course.
