3.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to introduce engineering students with little previous chemistry background to chemical principles used in the study of environmental chemistry. One theme of this course is the importance of understanding how natural biogeochemical processes operate and have operated over a variety of timescales. Such an understanding provides baseline information against which the effects of human perturbations of chemical processes can be quantified. Another theme covered is the importance of understanding how engineering choices impact environmental chemistry. (prereq: CH 200 and junior standing)

Engineers, in their professional lives as well as their private ones, greatly impact our environment, both positively and negatively. In this course, the basic chemistry principles discussed in Chemistry I (CH-200) are applied to provide an understanding of the environment, and to explain what effect certain actions have on it. Natural processes in the atmosphere, waterways, and solid waste systemare explained, disruptions to the natural systems are chronicled, and then solutions to these disruptions are suggested. Since there are no cut and dried answers to environmental problems, nor are these problems static in their identity or scope, a process of scientific thinking will be stressed throughout the course. (prereq: CH-200 and junior standing). (prereq: CH 200 and junior standing)

3.00 Credits
The basic chemistry principles discussed in Chemistry and Physics I (CH-200) are applied to exploring the structure and properties of bulkmaterials. The class will focus on understanding how the structural characteristics of the atoms andmolecules in amaterial affect the physical and chemical properties of thematerial.Materials will be considered on the nanoscopic level to explainmacroscopic phenomena. Topicsmay include conductivity ofmaterials, characterization of solids, solid solutions, nanoparticles, nanostructured devices,materials syntheses, allotropes of carbon, electrons inmaterials, polymetricmaterials and composites. (prereq: CH-200, PH-250)

3.00 Credits
This is amaterials' chemistry course appropriate for junior level students fromall engineering majors. The course includes basic description of physics and chemistry of surfaces and their relation to surface properties ofmaterials. The emphasis of the course is to provide students with knowledge on several importantmodern applications of surface chemistry: surface chemical reactions (catalytic converters and fuel cells), thin films and their application as lubricants, coatings and novel electronicmaterials, improving friction and wear properties of surfaces through chemicalmodification. A substantial part of the course is devoted to surface nanotechnology - an introduction to the design,manufacturing and characterization of various nanomaterials and nanodevices on surfaces and their potential applications. (prereq: CH-200,, PH-220, PH-230)

3.00 Credits
The field of biotechnology is the science of the future. The techniques used in biotechnology are presently bringing changes to every possible aspect of our life including careers, economy and all natural and social sciences. This elective course is designed for all interested students. The subjectmatter of this course changes every time it is offered in order to keep pace with a fastgrowing field. Lectures are focused on important and timely topics, as well as the theory ofmost critical techniques that are the backbone of areas like bioengineering, biomolecular engineering, protein engineering and the biotech industry. Students have hands-on learning of the techniques during lab sessions. The course also covers the history, ethics and societal impact of biotechnology. (prereq: CH-200)
-
3.00 Credits
Biotechnology is an applied science that is part of our daily lives.Medicine, veterinary practice, vaccine production, fertility control and livestock breeding are a few examples of the fields in which biotechnology is already practiced. Agricultural, chemical, environmental, and food industries, are also using biotechnology to their advantage which is directly affecting the social and economical aspects of life. The core of this elective course covers concepts, procedures and techniques used in the areas of advanced biotechnology. (prereq: CH-200)
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers current topics in chemistry that are not covered in other classes. Topics and structure, as well as credits,may vary. Faculty areas of expertise and possible topics for this course are listed on the Physics and Chemistry Department pages in the undergraduate catalog and on theWeb. Groups of students interested in a particular topic should contact the appropriate facultymember well in advance of registration for the quarter. Credit in this course will be determined after consultation with the instructor. (prereq: consent of instructor)
-
3.00 Credits
Students are given the opportunity to pursue an approved subject not covered in regularly scheduled course work. Thismay take the formof individual or small group studies, literature surveys, and laboratory or research projects.Weeklymeetings with the course advisor are required. A final report to be filed in the Physics and Chemistry Departmentmay also be required. This course is offered to students with junior or senior standing. Students with freshman or sophomore standing should request CH-199. (prereq: consent of the course advisor, and the Physics and Chemistry Department chairman.)
-
3.00 Credits
Course presents themethods and principles of field execution and office procedures required in construction surveying, with an emphasis on typical building layout requirements. Topics include leveling, traversing, site considerations, plumbing of the structure, and general usage of optical and digital instruments. Requiredmathematical analysis is integrated. (prereq:MA-126, or high school trigonometry)
-
3.00 Credits
Course provides a working knowledge of processes and information applied to order-ofmagnitude and budget-level construction cost estimates during preconstruction. Learning includes components of direct and indirect construction costs; cost database, work breakdown, and estimate structure using CSI UniFormat andMasterFormat; contingency and risk; and estimate adjustments for productivity. Automated techniques for construction estimates are applied. Ethical considerations in budgeting and estimating are looked at. (prereq: AE-2212)
