I am translating a Technical Architect´s CV and in his 'Education' section he lists
Curso Postgrado en Pericia Forense
impartido en el Colegio de Aparejadores y Arquitectos Técnicos
What would this course be in English? bearing in mind that it was taken at an architecture and engineering college...?

Spanish term (edited):
Curso Postgrado en Pericia Forense
Graduate-level course in Applied Forensics
Or, perhaps, "Graduate-level course in Forensic Evaluation/Assessment
The very fact that the course in question is part of a course of study in architecture and engineering would imply that the "application" in question is to those fields (and would thus obviate the unwieldy "Graduate-level course in Forensics as Applied in Architecture and Engineering," or some similar monstrosity).
As Phil rightly points out, while the term "pericia forense" could in isolation be translated as "forensic expertise," it would seem unlikely that the term would be used in a course title.

: Investigation, in your first reference, would be a possible translation. But you wouldn't have the word "expertise" in a course title. It's like the French "expertise", which means survey, inspection, or expert witness statement.

Thank you. I agree in principle about "expertise" as part of a course, but I was also attempting to say that there is far more involved than just "loss adjustment". Again, in principle, R. Forstag's proposal would seem like a distinct possibility.

: Thanks again, Taña.//Actually, using "pericia" in the Spanish seems unusual to me. Perhaps it's not a word that'd be used in an English-speaking university, but in the absence of evidence as to what the course actually entails, we can only speculate.

Thanks Robert. While "expertise" may not be the 'asolutely' perfect word, you should be given credit for your answer (LOL!)./Precisely, (int. link: http://forum.wordreference.com/threads/aparejador.720278/) which suggests "building engineer".
