    This course is an introduction to the basic concepts of chemistry, and emphasizes the use of basic chemical principles to understand the complexities of the natural and biological world. Topics include atoms, molecules, chemical stoichiometry, kinetic and molecular theory, gas laws, electronic structure of the atom, polarity, ionic and covalent bonding, the states of matter, properties of solutions, polymers, energy, nuclear processes, and organic compounds. Laboratories focus on environmental topics related to water and include field trips as well as wet and instrumental methods of analysis. 3 class hours / 4 laboratory hours alternate weeks; 4 credits.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course expands and enhances the topics covered in CHE 1021 primarily by integrating mathematical principles. Topics include advanced treatment of solutions, energy, redox, and equilibrium. Laboratories focus on understanding energy production and usage in the environment, and on the application of analytical instrumentation for chemical analysis. Prerequisite: CHE 1021 General Chemistry I. 3 class hours / 4 laboratory hours alternate weeks; 4 credits.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Organic chemistry investigates fundamental concepts of organic molecules including structure, energy relationships, reaction mechanisms, and spectroscopy. It emphasizes oral and written communication, critical thinking, and interpretation of real-world scenarios. The laboratory promotes the understanding of organic and environmental chemistry through the use of specialized techniques and instrumentation. Prerequisite: CHE 1021 General Chemistry I. 3 class hours / 4 laboratory hours alternate weeks; 4 credits.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course introduces advanced concepts of organic chemistry while emphasizing problem solving and reasoning skills. Topics include investigation of a variety of organic compounds, advanced reaction mechanisms, aromaticity, free radical reactions, polymers, kinetics, energy changes, and the chemical basis for biological transformations of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. This class highlights the use of higher order thinking skills to interpret and analyze chemical situations. The laboratory emphasizes green and environmental chemistry through the use of organic techniques. Prerequisite: CHE 2021 Organic Chemistry I. 3 class hours / 4 laboratory hours alternate weeks; 4 credits.
  • 3.00 Credits

    An introduction to the concepts and practices used to determine the nature and quantity of specified chemicals in air, solutions, and solid samples. Students investigate techniques commonly used in environmental analysis including electrochemistry, spectroscopy, chromatography, and titration. These techniques are then applied to the investigations of real world problems with emphasis on the importance of accurate analysis and data reporting. Prerequisites: CHE 1021 General Chemistry I and either CHE 1022 General Chemistry II, or CHE 2021 Organic Chemistry I. 2 class hours / 2 laboratory hours; 3 credits.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course investigates the natural chemistry of the environment, the interactions of man-made chemicals with the environment, and the processes used to lessen the adverse effects of wastes and byproducts. The course seeks to establish an understanding of the relationships between basic chemical principles and complex natural systems including air, water, watersheds, soils, and living organisms. Using this foundation, the course then examines the effects of anthropogenic sources of pollution and current methods of pollutant amelioration. Prerequisite: CHE 1021 General Chemistry I. 3 credits.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Special topics in chemistry presented on a one time or occasional basis. Credit and prerequisites vary depending on topic and instructor. 1-4 credits.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Green Chemistry studies the reduction or elimination of the generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. This advanced chemistry course will introduce students to the twelve guiding principles of green chemistry. Students will evaluate the effect of chemicals and chemical production on human health and the environment, and examine ways to synthesize and use environmentally benign chemicals. Topics covered will include real world cases that have been recognized nationally through the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards. Prerequisite: CHE 1021 General Chemistry I. 3 credits.
  • 1.00 - 3.00 Credits

    This course provides an introduction to research design, measurement, and analysis, and provides a one on one opportunity for students to work with a faculty mentor on a research project. 1-3 credits.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This upper division course will greatly enhance detailed understanding of important biological pathways and concepts introduced in general biology and chemistry. Topics will include signal transduction, enzyme structure and function, metabolism, and bioenergetics. Students must also enroll in BIO 4016 Microarray, which will constitute the laboratory component of this course. Students will become proficient with techniques routinely employed in biological research laboratories. Prerequisites: Either BIO 1035 Disease and Disorder or BIO 1036 Solar Powered Life, CHE 1022 General Chemistry II, and BIO 2015 Cell Biology. 3 class hours; 3 credits.
