Practical workshop on footprint lifting strengthens training in Criminalistics at UMECIT

Within the framework of an academic training focused on applied learning, the following was developed at the main headquarters of UMECIT: Practical Workshop on Footprint Surveying, an outreach activity that allowed students to consolidate their knowledge in real forensic intervention scenarios.

The event included the participation of students from the subject Criminalistics II, who put into practice fundamental techniques such as the making of plaster molds, forensic photography and surface analysis, essential elements in the processes of tracking and identification in criminal investigation.

The workshop was led by the professor Francisco Wellington, whose experience and academic leadership enabled the development of a high-level technical training space, aimed at strengthening practical skills in future forensic science professionals.

This type of initiative responds to the institutional approach of practice-based learning, allowing students to understand the relevance of procedures such as the correct preservation of evidence, the chain of custody and the probative value of clues in the judicial context.

Through these experiences, UMECIT reaffirms its commitment to training highly skilled professionals, capable of facing the challenges of the work environment with technical rigor, critical thinking and professional ethics.

Also noteworthy is the performance and commitment of the participating students, who demonstrated discipline, responsibility and a high level of understanding of the knowledge acquired.
