Core I Part II Participate

I am positive that for the rest of my life I will be using technology. I plan on entering the College of Sciences as a Forensics Analysis major specializing in trace evidence. The only way to do my future job is through the use of technology. Some examples of these technologies are computer systems, storage devices, and electronic documents. These technologies help find legal evidence on computers, CD-ROM’s, emails, and JPEG’s that can be used in court to incriminate a suspect. Another example of technology is the Scanning Electron Microscope. This microscope will be an important part of my career because it can locate and identify chemical and gunshot residues on objects.

To obtain this goal, I will have to enter the College of Sciences and become an intern at a local crime lab. Through this, I will learn the technology of the high-tech equipment at school, and then apply my knowledge on the actual equipment at the lab. I will also have to graduate from UCF with a Master's degree to become a full time Trace Evidence Analyst.
