Description:

Faculty: Dharshi Bopegedera (Chemistry) Major areas of study include quantum mechanics, advanced inorganic chemistry, instrumentation laboratory, advanced chemistry laboratory and coordination chemistry. Upper division science credit will be awarded. Class Standing: Juniors or seniors; transfer students welcome. Prerequisites: One year of college-level chemistry, ability to do integral and differential calculus required for quantum mechanics. What do chemists do In answering this question, this upper-division chemistry program will further students' studies in chemistry and prepare them for graduate studies or a career in chemistry. In all aspects of the program, classroom studies will be connected with the applications chemists encounter in their everyday work. In the lecture component, we will explore topics in quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, descriptive inorganic chemistry and the chemistry of transition elements. Students taking quantum mechanics must be comfortable working with differential and integral calculus. The laboratory portion of the program will demand a high level of independence from students. In the winter quarter, students will learn to use analytical instruments for chemical analysis. In the spring quarter, students working in small groups will conduct experiments in advanced inorganic and physical chemistry. Technical writing skills will be developed throughout both quarters. Career guidance for those interested in pursuing careers in chemistry will be an important aspect of the program. Total: 6, 12 or 16 credits each quarter. The 6 or 12 credit option requires a faculty signature. For more information, contact Dharshi Bopegedera, (360) 866-6620 or bopegedd@evergreen. edu. Enrollment: 25 Program is preparatory for careers and future studies in chemistry, chemical engineering, chemical physics, medicine, biochemistry and teaching.
