Hey Gang, Does anyone know of any schools which offer a Certificate in Kinematics - related to bodies in motion? Looking for courses towards accident reconstruction... Thanks
Biomechanics degree ack - 10 mins elapsed I had no luck finding certs in kinematics but to get much heavier into the topic, I believe Biomechanics would be an appropriate field of study... Does anyone have any links for Biomechanics degrees? AS leading to BS would be ideal. Thanks
This topic is usually included in post graduate level studies, and often included in Human Factors or Ergonomics degrees. I do not know of any DL courses in this subject matter. Perhaps a general degree including human anatomy, math, physics or engineering, and computer simulation is what you might need here. For residant courses with a certificate CSUDH offers one in prosthetics http://www.csudh.edu/oandp/Certificatecurriculum.html and UC Riverside has on in traffic accident reconstruction. (If you are asking about motor vehicle accident reconstruction you could always ask your local police department for info).
Athabasca University offers a Bachelor of General Studies (90 credit hours) which could be used to collect courses from various schools for consolidation into a degree in the area of study you are asking about. The BGS is 100% non-residential (100% transfer credit allowed).
indeed - I think that physics or a mechanical engineering degree is the way to go - any AS schools come to mind for physics degrees? ( 100% DL and RA only pls ) Thanks
I'd stick with the physical sciences route. If you are looking for the degree for a specific position, then contact the chief of the position and inquire as to the best possibilities, you'll likely get a B&M. Then inquire with those schools about part time study options. It should help.
