1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Departmental approval and Office of Career Services approval; enrollment in cooperative education or internship program. These courses award credit for successful enrollment in cooperative education or internship programs-one hour of credit per semester of enrollment. Students who are formally admitted into a cooperative education or internship program may be certified as full-time students during terms of employment for enrollment verification purposes. Work assignments for these programs are matched to the student's progress in the academic curriculum to provide a stimulating and challenging employment situation. This course is graded S/U. CED courses are jointly offered by the College of Liberal Arts and the Office of Career Services. (As needed)
-
1.00 Credits
Corequisites: CHM 111 and MAT 133. A support course taken in conjunction with General Chemistry I. This course provides explicit problem-solving instruction, focusing on learning and practicing those strategies appropriate to General Chemistry. Chemistry Problem Solving includes one weekly one-hour recitation meeting. (Every year) This course does not count toward the degree.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MAT 133 or equivalent, or coenrollment in CHM 099. CHM 111 is the first course in a two-part sequence that introduces students to the fundamental principles of chemistry. It studies matter and its transformation in chemical reactions. The states of matter, stoichiometry, equilibrium, and acid-base chemistry are treated in detail and are explained on the basis of atomic structure, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, and the kinetic molecular theory. Laboratory work introduces volumetric and simple analytical techniques in chemistry. The course includes three one-hour lectures and one three-hour laboratory each week. (Every year)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: a grade of C or better in CHM 111. CHM 112 is the second course in a two-part sequence that introduces students to the foundational principles of chemistry. Students will be exposed to the theoretical and experimental bases of thermodynamics, kinetics, oxidationreduction reactions, and quantum mechanics. Within this framework, the concepts of thermo-chemistry, free energy, reaction rates, electrochemistry, and bonding theory will be developed. The course includes three one-hour lectures and one three-hour laboratory each week. (Every year)
-
5.00 Credits
Co- or prerequisite: MAT 191. CHM 115 is an accelerated general chemistry course that seeks to unify many of the themes in General Chemistry to develop a comprehensive understanding of the subject. Students in CHM 115 will be introduced to the microscopic and macroscopic descriptions of matter and its behavior. They will be exposed to the fundamental laws of mass and energy conservation and their application to chemical systems and reactions. Students will also be introduced to the fundamentals of chemical thermodynamics and its bearing on equilibrium in gases, acids and bases, and ionic solutions. The course includes three one-hour lectures, one three-hour laboratory, and one one-hour computational recitation each week. (Every year)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHM 112 or CHM 115. A study of the chemistry of carbon compounds. The various functional groups and their transformations are studied systematically. Reaction mechanisms and the formulation of synthetic schemes are emphasized. Basic theory and interpretation of ultraviolet/visible, infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies and mass spectrometry are discussed. Laboratory work involves the separation, preparation, and both chemical and instrumental analysis of organic compounds. The course includes three one-hour lectures and one threehour laboratory each week. (Every year)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: a grade of C or better in CHM 221. A continuation of CHM 221. The course includes three one-hour lectures and one four-hour laboratory each week. (Every year)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHM 112 or CHM 115. A study of classical methods of analysis, stressing the quantitative aspects of chemistry. Emphasis is given to the treatment of analytical data (including error analysis). A thorough study of equilibria as it pertains to acid/base, precipitation, complexation, and redox phenomena is included. An introduction to quantitative spectroscopy, as it pertains to atomic absorption and ultraviolet/visible spectral methods, is given. Laboratory work includes gravimetric, volumetric, atomic absorption, ultraviolet/visible, and simple potentiometric methods of analysis. The course includes two one-hour lectures and one four-hour laboratory per week. (Every year)
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CHM 112 recommended; other prerequisites to be specified with each individual course offering. Study of a special topic in chemistry requiring appropriate background in general chemistry and not covered in any of the normal department offerings. The number of lecture and/or laboratory meetings will vary according to the topic. This course cannot be applied toward the chemistry major requirements and does not count toward any of the College of Liberal Arts general education requirements, but it can be applied toward the chemistry minor. May be repeated for credit if offered with a different topic. (Occasional)
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: approval of department chair and a faculty research director. Participation in an independent research problem directed by one or more faculty members. One hour credit will be awarded for three hours per week per semester of satisfactory participation. A maximum of two credits can be earned per semester. This course may be repeated for a maximum of six semester credit hours. Attendance at departmental seminars and a seminar paper are required for each research topic taken. (Every semester)
