4.00 Credits
The continuation of CHEM 221 Organic Chemistry I. In this course, students learn the important reactions and mechanisms in organic chemistry, how to apply stereochemistry to the understanding of the basic organic mechanisms, and to design simple multi-step syntheses. In addition, students learn how to elucidate the structure of organic molecules using nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy. In the laboratory, students perform a number of multi-step syntheses and kinetics experiments, and learn how to obtain infrared and NMR spectra. Students perform multi-week projects and report findings in an oral presentation. Three hours lecture; four hours laboratory. Prerequisite: CHEM 221.
-
4.00 Credits
In analytical chemistry, students extend their knowledge and understanding of solution chemistry. The topics include acid-base, oxidation-reduction, precipitation, and complexion reactions. The laboratory includes application of these methods including a multi-week research project on water analysis. The reactions are studied using instrumental and computer-interfaced methods of data acquisition and data reduction. Students also extend their knowledge of both graphical and spreadsheet analysis of data. Three hours lecture; four hours laboratory. Prerequisite: CHEM 111 or consent.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides students with insight into the chemistry of pharmaceuticals with indepth explanation on the molecular mechanisms of drug action. Students will refine their skills in writing organic reaction mechanisms and develop a better understanding of structure/reactivity relationships found in organic molecules. Three hours lecture. Prerequisite: CHEM 222.
-
4.00 Credits
Involves quantitative and theoretical study of the physical principles underlying the properties and behavior of chemical systems. Includes the study of thermodynamics in which the equilibrium properties of a system and changes in equilibrium properties are examined and kinetics, the study of rate processes. The laboratory emphasizes the statistical treatment of experimental data, thermochemistry, solution and phase equilibria, and chemical kinetics. Three hours lecture; four hours laboratory. Prerequisite: CHEM 222, MATH 225 and PHYS 110 or PHYS 210.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce students to the biochemical design of life at the atomic, nano- and micro-scales. Biological order is studied through the structure, function, and chemistry of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids. The course will include an in-depth analysis of structure and the relationship between form and function. The energetics required to maintain biological order is studied through enzyme catalytic function and regulation, and selected metabolic pathways. In the laboratory, students will learn basic biochemical techniques such as centrifugation and electrophoresis. Three hours lecture; four hours laboratory. Prerequisite: CHEM 221-222.
-
1.00 Credits
Focuses on communication in science, including methods of presentation such as poster, oral and written formats. Includes both library and on-line retrieval of scientific information using chemical and biological abstracts and other databases. Analysis of technical writing is included through reading and discussion of current primary scientific literature. Prerequisite: Junior standing.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Students may apply and be selected to do research for a semester or a summer internship in one of many programs sponsored by government laboratories, universities and private corporations. Students may also earn cooperative education credit while working at department-approved business facilities. Prerequisite: Consent.
-
4.00 Credits
The basic functions of modern instruments of analysis. The instruments and techniques studied include spectroscopic methods (UV-Vis, FTIR, fluorescence, atomic absorption, NMR, mass spectroscopy), separation methods (gas and liquid chromatography), selected electrochemical methods and thermal analyses. In the laboratory, students use modern instrumentation in both quantitative and qualitative analysis and in the study of the basic sensitivity and accuracy of the instrument and the advantages and limitations of the method of analysis. Three hours lecture; four hours laboratory. Prerequisite: CHEM 221 and CHEM 233.
-
4.00 Credits
The course will focus on advanced concepts of metabolism, stressing the regulation and interdependency of pathways. In addition to deepening specific understanding of catabolic and anabolic pathways and developing the ability to analyze and predict metabolic effects, this course will contain a significant amount of literature review to develop analytical skills in evaluating published research and to promote oral and written communication of scientific information. The laboratory will utilize biochemical techniques learned earlier to isolate, purify and characterize a protein. Two hours lecture, 5 hours lab. Prerequisite: CHEM 345.
-
3.00 Credits
Courses offered periodically in some area of advanced chemistry or topics dealing with contemporary issues in science. Prerequisite: Consent.
