3.00 Credits
This lecture/laboratory course is designed to acquaint the student with the principles of forensic science, to introduce the student to the different areas of forensic science, and to introduce the student to some applications of biological, chemical and physical methods in the forensic sciences. Proper evidence handling is also discussed. Prerequisites: successful completion of at least two semesters of college chemistry. 3 hours Lecture and 3 hours Laboratory - 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
The first of a two-course sequence on Organic Chemistry, this course reviews the basic concepts of bonding and of acid-base theory as they apply to organic compounds. The structure, properties, nomenclature and chemistry of the alkanes, alkyl halides, alkenes, alkynes and the alcohols are covered in-depth. The development of reaction mechanisms is discussed and the mechanisms for substitutions, eliminations and additions are studies and applied to the reactions of alkyl halides, alkenes and the alcohols. Prerequisites: General Chemistry II Lecture and Laboratory. This course should be taken concurrently with the Organic Chemistry I Laboratory. 3 hours Lecture - 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
The Organic Chemistry I laboratory introduces the common techniques used for the separation, purification and identification of organic compounds, including chromatographic techniques and infrared spectroscopy. The reaction of the functional groups covered in Organic Chemistry I are studied. Prerequisites: General Chemistry II Lecture and Laboratory. This course should be taken concurrently with Organic Chemistry I lecture. 3 hours Laboratory - 1 credit.
-
3.00 Credits
This course surveys inorganic chemistry with an environmental emphasis, geochemical cycles, aqueous equilibria, redox, bacterial processes, heavy metals, and atmospheric chemistry. Prerequisites: General Chemistry I and II Lecture and Laboratory. 1 hour Lecture and 2 hours Laboratory - 2 credits.
-
1.00 Credits
A discussion and laboratory course dealing with modern chemical concepts. The student, with concurrence from the instructor, will investigate in depth a topic of his/her choice. Example topics include inorganic syntheses, glassblowing, radiochemistry, and symmetry. Elective for Chemistry sophomores, juniors or seniors with permission of Department Chairperson. 3 hours Laboratory and Instruction each - 1 credit each
-
1.00 Credits
This course includes a discussion of the content and the usage of the various sources of chemical information. Emphasis is placed both on locating specific facts and on on-line literature searches. Regular library assignments are given, and the class as a whole visits a large chemical library in the area. Prerequisite: At least sophomore standing. 1 hour Lecture - 1 credit
-
3.00 Credits
A systematic survey of the major biological molecules, including proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. This course introduces students to the general principles of biochemistry and illustrates the interplay of molecular structure and function. Topics covered may include protein architecture, enzyme kinetics and mechanism, membrane and transportation, molecular genetics, and the central metabolic pathways. Prerequisite: Principles of Organic Chemistry Lecture and Laboratory or Organic Chemistry I Lecture and Laboratory. 3 hours Lecture - 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
The laboratory introduces common techniques used for the separation, purification, identification and analysis of biochemical compounds. Various types of chromatography, electrophoresis and spectroscopy are studied. Prerequisite: Organic Chemistry I Lecture and Laboratory or Principles of Organic Chemistry Lecture and Laboratory. This course is to be taken concurrently with or having successfully completed Biochemistry lecture. 3 hours Laboratory - 1 credit
-
2.00 Credits
The second of the two course sequence on Organic Chemistry, this course is an introduction to the structure, properties, nomenclature and chemistry of the aromatic compounds, ketones, aldehydes, the carboxylic acids and their derivatives and the amines. The mechanisms of aromatic substitution, of additions, reductions and oxidations of the carbonyl compounds and the synthesis and reactions of the amines are studied. The role of organic compounds in biological systems is introduced throughout the course. Prerequisites: Organic Chemistry II Lecture and Laboratory. This course should be taken concurrently with the Organic Chemistry II Laboratory. 3 hours Lecture - 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
The Organic Chemistry Laboratory includes the study of the reactions and mechanisms covered in the Organic Chemistry II lecture. An introduction to qualitative organic analysis and to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy is also included. Prerequisite: Organic Chemistry I Lecture and Laboratory; Prerequisite or concurrent: Organic Chemistry II lecture. 3 hours Laboratory - 1 credit.
