-
4.00 Credits
Metabolic pathways are surveyed in terms of bioenergetics, mechanisms of selected enzyme mediated processes, and key metabolic controls. The molecular and clinical aspects of various diseases are discussed. Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours. The 3-credit option does not include laboratory. Prerequisite: CHE 307 or departmental approval.
-
3.00 Credits
Toxicology will present an overview of toxicology principles including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of toxicants. The effects of toxicants on biological systems and their mechanism of action will be discussed. Toxic effects of specific organic and inorganic materials will be presented. In addition, methods of measuring toxicity will be discussed. Prerequisite: CHE 205 or its equivalent.
-
4.00 Credits
Chemical reactions of environmental importance are studied, particularly those of global scope. Specific topics include ozone depletion, global warming, air pollution, alternative energy generation, nuclear power, and pesticides. Discussion includes analysis of human attempts to ameliorate environmental damage by technological and political means. Laboratory includes both quantitative analytical methods and computer modeling. The 3-credit option does not include laboratory. Prerequisite: Chemistry 205.
-
3.00 Credits
The primary focus of the course is the application of group theoretical methods to chemical systems, particularly transition metal complexes. Modern bonding theories such as Lewis-Langmuir, Valence Bond, VSEPR, and molecular orbital theory are studied, and their predictions are compared to those from group theory. Important experimental results, including the spectrochemical series, are explained in light of the modern bonding theories. The laboratory consists of the synthesis of representative inorganic compounds. 3 credit option does not include laboratory. Prerequisite: CHE 205, CHE 206, MAT 141, and MAT 142 (which may be concurrent).
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the laws of thermodynamics and their application to solutions and phase equilibria, and chemical kinetics. Laboratory emphasis on applications of thermodynamic and kinetic principles and writing laboratory reports in journal format. Prerequisite: MAT 141, MAT 142 and PHY 101 (which may be concurrent). Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours.
-
3.00 Credits
The focus of the course is the study of quantum mechanics and its application to atomic and molecular structure. Method for the exact solution of the Schroedinger equation are mastered. Approximation methods such as the variational method are introduced. General Valence Bond (GVB) and molecular orbital (M.O.) theories are investigated. Prerequisite: MAT 141, 142, PHY 101. Note that CHE 335 is not a prerequisite.
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the reactions leading to macromolecules: step and chain processes; kinetics, mechanisms and catalysts; the relation of reaction composition and molecular structure to polymer properties. Prerequisite: One year of organic chemistry.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the chemistry of nonbenzenoid aromatics containing ring hetero atoms, ranging from simple heterocycles to polycyclic systems and the nucleic acid bases. Emphasis is placed on synthesis, reactions and compounds of natural origin and pharmaceutical interest. Prerequisite: One year of organic chemistry.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture and laboratory instruction are given in the analysis of trace evidence typically found in forensic investigation such as hair, fibers, soil, glass and paint. The course focuses on the use of the light microscope, polarized light microscope, scanning electron microscope, and the micro-FTIR as analytical tools. Students will also receive instruction in instrumental and wet chemical methods for the analysis of trace evidence, arson debris, and drugs. Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours. Prerequisites: CHE 111 and CHE 112. Juniors and Seniors only.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture and laboratory instruction are given in body fluid stain identification and modern DNA typing methods used in forensic biology. Emphasis is placed on PCR technology and STR fragment analysis. Students are also introduced to mitochondrial DNA typing methods as well as future forensic DNA methodologies. The use and calculation of population statistics used in forensic DNA testing is also discussed. Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours. Prerequisites: BIO 121 and 122, CHE 111 and 112, Juniors and Seniors only.
