3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to the scientific techniques used for the analysis of common types of physical evidence encountered at crime scenes.Using critical thinking and laboratory experiences, students become crime scene investigators.They are charged with the task of solving a mock crime.The investigations include fabric analysis, ink analysis, blood analysis, DNA analysis, fingerprint analysis, ballistics, and/or blood alcohol analysis.The lecture part of the course focuses on exploring the underlying chemical principles behind the techniques and includes discussion of historical case studies.Note: This course counts as a science core course but does not satisfy requirements for the chemistry major or minor.Three credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course, which fulfills a science requirement and has no prerequisites, presents chemistry via lecture, demonstration, and laboratory work.The course provides students with insights into the microscopic world of atoms and molecules to better understand the macroscopic, observable properties of real substances, and applies the models developed in the course to representative substances from inorganic, organic chemistry, and biochemistry.Note: This course counts as a science core course but does not satisfy requirements for the chemistry major or minor.Three credits.

3.00 Credits
This two-semester, sequential course covers atomic and molecular weights, the mole concept, Avogadro's number, stoichiometry, energy relationships in chemical systems, the properties of gases, the electronic structures of atoms, periodic relationships among the elements, chemical bonding, geometrics of molecules, molecular orbitals, liquids, solids, intermolecular forces, solutions, rates of chemical reactions, chemical equilibrium, free energy, entropy, acids and bases, aqueous equilibria, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry, chemistry of some metals and nonmetals, and chemistry of coordination compounds.Three credits.
-
4.00 Credits
Students who exhibit a particularly strong background in chemistry - based on the results of their freshman orientation examinations - are invited to take this two-semester course.Available lab space limits the number of students in the course.Course topics match those of CH 11-12, however, the pace, depth, and order of lecture presentation differs.This course interweaves lab and lecture components as much as possible; experimental student "discoveries" in lab often serve as a departure point for lectures.Students develop the experimental acumen necessary to perform basic chemical operations and use these acquired skills to probe chemical phenomena.Three lectures; one recitation section; one lab.Four credit
-
1.00 Credits
Lab experiments illustrate the principles discussed in class, (thermodynamics, kinetics, chemical equilibrium).(Co-requisite: CH 202 lecture) One credit.
-
3.00 Credits
This course, an introduction to the chemistry of carbon compounds, discusses common functional groups from the perspective of molecular structure.Areas of emphasis include structure and characterization, preparation or organic synthesis, and the relations of physical and chemical properties to molecular structure.Stereochemical concepts introduced early in the course are used throughout.(Prerequisite: CH 12 or CH 18) Three credits.
-
1.00 Credits
The first semester of this lab emphasizes the manipulative techniques of separation, purification, analysis, and simple syntheses.The second semester emphasizes investigative experiments, more complex synthesis, and qualitative organic analysis.(Co-requisite: CH 211-212 lecture) One credit.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of CH 211 and presents the chemistry of aromatic, carbonyl, acyl, and nitrogen compounds.The course relates the chemical properties of naturally occurring substances such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids to those of simpler monofunctional compounds.Spectroscopic methods of structure determination are introduced early in the course and used throughout.(Prerequisite: CH 211) Three credits.
-
2.00 Credits
Students explore quantitative aspects of chemistry through the analysis of unknowns and the characterization of chemical equilibrium, and pursue classical and instrumental methods of analysis.(Co-requisite: CH 222 lecture) Two credits.
-
1.00 Credits
This course demonstrates and verifies concepts covered in lecture courses CH 261 and CH 262.Each lab meets weekly for three hours, during which students perform experiments with precision and care.The course incorporates current technology into each experiment and uses computers in data acquisition, reduction, and reporting.The course places special emphasis on data handling techniques and the accurate recording of observations.(Co-requisite: CH 261-262 lecture) One credit.
