The Aerospace Forensics Lab is used in undergraduate, graduate and professional courses.

Aviation Safety students gain practice in the science of aircraft accident investigation by examining fixed-wing and rotary aircraft wreckage. Visual and tactile  inspections provide valuable experience that transfers directly to real-world aviation accident investigations. The lab is often featured in various news media interviews.
