4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 1100 This course focuses on the fundamentals of organic chemistry showing the relationships between molecular structure and physical, chemical, and spectral properties for organic compounds, including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatics, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, amides, esters, polymers, and biomolecules. Related laboratory work emphasize fundamental techniques applied to the isolation, synthesis, and characterization of organic molecules. This course is recommended for students in health related fields. (6 contact hours: 3 lecture, 3 lab)
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 1100 or high school chemistry, MATH 1650 (can be taken concurrently) or its equivalent or placement test into MATH 1700 This course focuses on the principles of college chemistry, including measurements and dimensional analysis, formulas, equations and stoichiometry, solution reactions, gas laws, thermochemistry, atomic and electronic structure, the periodic table, bonding, and molecular geometry. Students will complete lab experiments related to these topics. This course is recommended for students who are pursuing an associate degree, or who are science-engineering majors, or who are attempting to qualify for a career in a health field such as physical therapy. (7 contact hours: 4 lecture, 3 lab)
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 1500 This course continues the study of the principles of college chemistry, including organic nomenclature, solids and liquids, solutions, chemical kinetics, molecular equilibrium, acid-base theory, acid-base equilibrium, precipitation and complex ion equilibrium, oxidation-reduction, and electrochemistry. Students will complete lab experiments related to these topics. This course is recommended for students who are pursuing an associate degree, or who are science-engineering majors, or who are attempting to qualify for a career in a health field such as physical therapy. (7 contact hours: 4 lecture, 3 lab)
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 1050 This course engages students in focused scientific inquiry investigation pertaining to a significant issue in a specific area of study. As the individual focuses on the processes of doing an investigation, they will develop the ability to ask questions,investigate aspects of the world around them and use their observations to construct reasonable explanations for the questions posed. The course encompasses a mix of formal ways of learning such as classes/laboratory excerises and informal means such as independent study through Blackboard, electronic discussions, research for possible capstone projects through electronic databases, and utilization of electronic journals. (1 contact hour)
-
1.00 Credits
This course will require students to synthesize their understanding and skills by researching a topic, evaluating the evidence, developing a thesis and thus entering scholarly conversation, and presenting their work in a seminar research paper and presentation. In addition, students engage in collaborative projects, the components of which vary (students might, for example, collaboratively address an actual problem confronted within the scientific industry). (1 contact hour)
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
In this specialized cooperative course, students gain real life experience and earn wages under the guidance of a faculty member and company supervisor. Currently employed students may qualify at their existing job; others may apply for employment from a list of local organizations offering cooperative work positions. College level co-op work experience requires developing new program-related skills, not simply performing tasks for which the student is already qualified. Under state guidelines, students must register for 1 credit for each unit of 180 hours of employment during the semester. Students may repeat this course until they accumulate 9 credits. NOTE: Students may apply a maximum of 9 credits in cooperative work experience or in any combination of cooperative work experience, field experience, and/or practicum to an associate degree program.
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 1600 This course focuses on the principles of quantitative chemical analysis including statistics, sampling techniques, acid-base equilibria and titrations, solubility calculations, complexometric titrations, oxidation-reduction titrations and gravimetric/volumetric methods. Additionally, the course introduces students to instrumental methods such as UV-visible spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy and chromatography. Students will complete lab experiments related to these topics. This course is intended for chemistry majors and chemical technician students.(7 contact hours: 4 lecture, 3 lab)
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 1600 This specialized course is the first in an organic chemistry sequence. It focuses on basic relationships between structure and physical, chemical and spectral properties for organic compounds, including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatics, halides, alcohols, and ethers. The course covers free radical substitution, electrophilic addition, elimination, electrophilic aromatic substitution and nucleophilic substitution reactions, with emphasis on mechanisms and stereochemistry. It also introduces infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Laboratory work emphasizes basic skills such as recrystallization, extraction, distillation, chromatography synthesis, and analysis using chemical and instrumental methods. This course is intended for chemistry majors and chemical technician, pre-medical, pre-dental, and pharmacy students. (9 contact hours: 3 lecture, 6 lab)
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 2500 This course continues the organic chemistry sequence. It emphasizes organic synthesis, structure determination, stereochemistry, spectroscopy, reaction mechanisms, and the use of the chemical literature. It covers aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, amines, amides, esters, polymers, fats, amino acids, carbohydrates and proteins. Students will study nucleophilic acyl substitution, nucleophilic addition, carbanions, and polymerization mechanisms. Related laboratory experience emphasizes more advanced synthetic and analytical procedures, using both macro and micro techniques. This course is intended for chemistry majors and chemical technician, pre-medical, pre-dental, and pharmacy students. (9 contact hours: 3 lecture, 6 lab)
-
1.00 - 5.00 Credits
These specialized courses provide in-depth examinations of topics not covered in detail elsewhere in the curriculum. Students will study such subjects as polymers, chromatography, or spectroscopy and will complete lab experiments related to these topics.
