-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
The studies begun in CHE 301 continue in this course.Typical topics covered are the synthesis and reactions of aromatic compounds, alcohols, ethers, polymers, carbonyl compounds, and amines. An emphasis is placed on the functional groups involved in the chemistry of biological molecules. The course includes one laboratory period per week.Prerequisite: CHE 301.Spring semester.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
A four-credit-hour laboratory or library research project is required for the biochemistry major and is strongly encouraged for the chemistry major. CHE 310, the first course in this research sequence, is normally taken in the first semester of the junior year.CHE 315 and 410 involve continued laboratory and/or library research that was begun in CHE 310. CHE 415 is normally taken the second semester of the senior year . This sequence of courses will culminate in a presentation, both oral and written, of the results of the research project. Prior to enrollment in these courses, the student must select a topic and secure approval of the faculty member who will supervise the work on the project. Prerequisite: Admission to the major. CHE 310 is a prerequisite for CHE 315; CHE 315 is a prerequisite for CHE 410; and CHE 410 is a prerequisite for CHE 415.

3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Physical chemistry involves the study of the structures, physical properties, and interactions of individual molecules and collections of molecules. This first course includes introductions to thermodynamics and quantum mechanics as well as spectroscopy, electrolyte chemistry, and kinetics. The one lab period per week will not only involve traditional experiments, but it will also include literature assignments and activities in data analysis. Prerequisites: CHE 206, MAT 200, and admission to the major. Physics is strongly recommended. Fall semester.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This is a continuation of the types of studies begun in CHE 401. A thorough examination of thermodynamics is emphasized, involving both classical (experimental) and statistical (theoretical) approaches. Additional work on quantum mechanics is also included.The one lab period per week will not only involve traditional experiments, but it will also include literature assignments and activities in data analysis. Prerequisites: CHE 401 and admission to the major. Offered as faculty availability and student demand allow.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course is a study of the chemical elements with emphasis on structure,bonding,periodic trends,and concepts relating to mechanisms of inorganic reactions. These tools are used to interpret and systematize the concepts of inorganic chemistry.The course includes one laboratory period per week.The laboratory component will complement the lecture through the preparation, analysis, and study of various inorganic compounds. Prerequisites: CHE 206, 301, and admission to the major. Spring semester of even-numbered years.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Senior students enter this course with a good foundational understanding of chemistry. This course builds on that foundation, providing a context for the student to engage questions that will be confronted as the senior either enters postbaccalaureate study or employment in chemical industry. This course focuses on preparing the graduating student to be able to discuss ethical issues and to interpret new information in the chemistry field. The first half of this course (Part A, 0.5 credit hours, fall semester) will involve a discussion of ethical issues confronted in the chemical profession, with an overview of parameters involved in ethical decision-making. The second half of this course (Part B, 0.5 credit hours, spring semester) strengthens the student's ability to read, to interpret and to discuss primary journal articles. Students will be encouraged to discuss primary articles involving the latest developments reported in chemical literature. Prerequisites: Admission to the major and senior standing in the chemistry major or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
The course develops a basic understanding of the theory of instrumental analysis as well as demonstrates, via hands-on experience, the importance of instrumental methods to the modern chemist.A primary concern in the course is development and application of the fundamental principles of an instrumental method and its general theory. Students will not only learn the analytical application of instruments but will also use the instruments to collect significant chemical data. This latter feature of the course ensures that students acquire a sound knowledge of the chemical principles involved in the measurement and aids in selecting the most appropriate conditions for an analysis. Topics covered include computer interfacing and data analysis, spectroscopy, chromatography, and electrochemistry. There is a strong laboratory component to this course.Prerequisites:CHE 206 and admission to the major. Physics is strongly recommended. Spring semester of odd-numbered years.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
This course continues the study of thermodynamics that was begun in CHE 401. Systems of single substances and of mixtures will be considered.Both classical (experimental) and statistical (theoretical) approaches to the subject will be employed. This course duplicates two-credit-hours' worth of material from CHE 402. Prerequisites: CHE 401 and admission to the major.Offered spring semester as faculty availability and student demand allow.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
A detailed course in biochemistry that includes a study of the occurrence, structure, function, and metabolism of biologically important molecules. There is an emphasis on molecular species such as carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids. The course includes work in the laboratory. The course may be credited toward a biology, biochemistry, or chemistry major, as the student elects, but it cannot count towards more than one major. Prerequisites: BIO 233, CHE 301, CHE 302 (or concurrent enrollment),and admission to the major (Chemistry, Biochemistry, or Biology). Spring semester of even-numbered years. Also listed as BIO 450.
-
3.00 Credits
A course in advanced public speaking preparation and practice, with a focus on the learning and application of all factors used to evaluate Standard American English. Special attention will be given to the International Phonetic Alphabet. Students will be required to complete several oral presentations to help improve their public speaking skills. Prerequisite: CTI 101.
