New Crash Course Announced

NUCPS is excited to offer Math & Physics Review for Crash Reconstruction, an all-new, remote course that is designed especially for students who wish to enroll in Vehicle Dynamics or other advanced reconstruction courses but don't have the math and physics background that those courses require. In four days of remote learning, our instructors offer students the solid math and physics they need in order to concentrate on reconstruction techniques instead of struggling with basic skills. This course also is ideal for prospective reconstruction students who had exposure to advanced math and physics in the past but need a refresher.
