Overview
What you will learn
The practical approach followed in this Analytical Techniques course offered by Cranfield University equips you to plan your own materials-based investigations and to evaluate the work of others. The capabilities and limitations of the different methods are discussed and while forensic examples are used to illustrate the techniques they can be equally well applied to other aspects of material science.
