This course instructs users in the operation of the FARO laser scanners and FARO SCENE software. Each
student will get hands on usage instruction with the laser scanner. The students will also get instruction
on how to process data in the FARO SCENE software. The course will cover methodologies, strategies
and workflows for FARO software and hardware, based upon the collective experiences of Law
Enforcement and Forensics experts. Focus will be aimed toward the user’s basic knowledge,
