1.00 Credits
4.00 credits (3.00 lec/1.00 lab) This course uses an application-based approach to understand the basic theories and methods for scientific investigation of physical evidence found at the scene of a crime, with an emphasis on laboratory analysis methods currently in use. Students will explore the scope of forensic science, services provided by forensic laboratories, the role of a forensic scientist, the processing of crime scene, and the importance of as well as the types of physical evidence. They will learn how various kinds of physical evidence such as chemical substances, microscopic evidence, hair, fiber, paints, glass, soil, body fluids, DNA, fingerprints, etc. are collected and analyzed. Students will perform several laboratory experiments to learn the methods used in such analyses. Concurrent registration in lab is required. Some lab sessions will be held off-campus. Fulfills MnTC Goal Areas 3 and 9. Prerequisites: Placement into MATH 0080 or completion of MATH 0070 and CHEM 1020 or one year of high school chemistry.

1.00 Credits
5.00 credits (4.00 lec/1.00 lab) This course is the first semester of a two-semester sequence designed to give students a broad introduction to the field of chemistry. This course will cover a general introduction to the scientific method, basic stoichiometry, thermodynamics, atomic and molecular structure and bonding, gas laws, solution chemistry, and environmental topics. The required on-campus laboratory meets three hours per week. The laboratory experiments illustrate concepts covered in the lecture material, emphasize experimental techniques, and use computer-assisted data acquisition and manipulation. The lecture/theory portion of the course is offered on campus in the classroom and also as a Web course during some terms (check the term schedule). Fulfills MnTC Goal Area 3.
