-
1.00 Credits
This laboratory focuses on the optimization and application of different instrumental techniques, including computer interfacing, spectroscopy, chromatography, and electrochemistry. Emphasis is placed on instrumental techniques used for environmental and clinical applications. Computers are used extensively for analyzing and presenting data. Corequisite: CHEM 366. 3 laboratory hours. 1 semester hour
-
3.00 Credits
This course presents an introduction to the chemistry of the elements with a focus on chemical bonding, periodic properties and the chemistry of metals and non-metals. This course is intended to provide knowledge of the fundamental properties of important elements and their compounds. Major topics to be covered include the solid state, coordination compounds, materials chemistry and organometallic chemistry. Prerequisites: CHEM 145- 148, 255, and 257.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides a comprehensive study of the structure, properties, and interactions of matter. Equations of state, thermodynamics, thermochemistry, and both chemical and phase equilibria are examined in detail. A strong mathematics background is recommended. Prerequisites: CHEM 145-148, CHEM 255-258, PHYS 232 or 261, or permission of the instructor. 4 class hours. 4 semester hours
-
4.00 Credits
This course continues the examination of the structure, properties, and interactions of matter. Specific focus areas include molecular energy distributions, the kinetic theory of gases with introductory statistical mechanics, and quantum mechanics. Concepts are described in mathematical detail using calculus and differential equations. Prerequisites: CHEM 145-148, CHEM 255-258, PHYS 232 or 261, or permission of the instructor. 4 class hours. 4 semester hours
-
1.00 Credits
Fundamental concepts such as calorimetry, kinetics, and quantum state energy transitions determined spectroscopically are a sampling of the experiments implemented in this laboratory course. The materials covered are inclusive of both semesters of the physical chemistry lecture. Prerequisite: CHEM 385 or 386. 3 hours weekly. 1 semester hour
-
1.00 Credits
The organization and efficient use of the chemical literature. Topics include the use of standard reference works, primary and secondary literature sources, and Chemical Abstracts. Computer searching of library and chemical database (e.g., STN) will be emphasized. Prerequisite: CHEM 255. 1 semester hour
-
3.00 Credits
The junior research experience provides an opportunity for students to participate in an independent, investigative research project as part of the requirements for the BS in chemistry. Students carry out novel laboratory or field research in the chemical sciences. A written report is required for completion of the course. Three hours of lab work are required per semester hour. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor and junior standing. 1-4 semester hours
-
1.00 Credits
Development of a research proposal for senior thesis. Proposal must be approved by a thesis committee for successful completion of the requirements of this course. Prerequisite: CHEM 256 and CHEM 258. 1 semester hour
-
3.00 Credits
Independent chemistry research based on a proposal developed in CHEM 408 in conjunction with a faculty advisor. An oral thesis defense presented to the thesis committee follows successful completion of the project. (The semester hours are not equal to the weekly class or laboratory hours. Research requires a substantial time commitment.) Prerequisite: CHEM 408. 2 semester hours each
-
3.00 Credits
This upper-level chemistry course is built on concepts of CHEM 125. The course covers chemistry topics most commonly applicable to the everyday functions of a crime laboratory professional. Students learn modern instrumental methods of analysis as applied to analyzing illicit drugs, combustibles in arson and fire investigation, gun-residues in fire-arms, toxins in toxicology, and DNA analysis. Prerequisites: CHEM 125 and CHEM 366, or permission of the instructor. Corequisite: CHEM 427. 3 hours lecture. 3 semester hours
