-
3.00 Credits
These courses are designed for students wishing to work on a research project prior to the senior year. Interested students may select a project in consultation with a faculty member and work under his/her supervision. Permission of a chemistry faculty member is required. The student is required to spend at least three hours per week in the laboratory. Permission of instructor. One hour each. Staff.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of the laws of physics to chemical phenomena will be examined. An attempt is made to provide a theoretical foundation for the study of the other disciplines of chemistry, and applications are drawn from these disciplines whenever possible. Topics considered include chemical thermodynamics, including its application to thermochemistry, phase equilibria, electrochemistry, and surface chemistry; the kinetic theory of gases and statistical mechanics as applied to chemical systems; chemical kinetics, including the treatment of rate data and the theory of rate processes; and quantum theory as applied to the spectra and structure of atoms and molecules. Prerequisites: CHEM 122, PHYS 152, and MATH 132 or 142. CHEM 311 is a prerequisite for CHEM 312. Three hours each. Ms. Michelsen.
-
3.00 Credits
This course presents the theory and techniques necessary for quantitative analysis of chemical systems at equilibrium. Topics covered will include volumetric and gravimetric analysis, acid-base chemistry, electrochemistry, spectrophotometry and chromatography. Laboratory investigations will involve wet chemical methods and introductory instrumental techniques to analyze quantitatively the components of complex mixtures. Statistical methods will be used to interpret the analytical results. Prerequisite: CHEM 122. Offered in alternate years. Four hours. Ms. Marchetti.
-
3.00 Credits
In this course the student will acquire an understanding of the fundamental principles upon which modern measuring devices are based and the type of information an instrument can contribute to a chemical analysis. Among the methods studied will be UV/VIS, fluorescence, IR, NMR, AA and mass spectroscopy, and gas and high pressure liquid chromatography. Prerequisites: CHEM 311, PHYS 152. Offered in alternate years. Three hours. Ms. Marchetti.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce chemistry students to the principles and techniques of chemical research. Topics covered include chemical literature searching, research proposal writing, oral presentation, experimental design, the principles of laboratory safety, and scientific ethics. This course serves as a prerequisite to CHEM 442L and CHEM 496. One hour. Staff.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of chemical experimental techniques to a variety of problems. Both wet chemistry and instrumental techniques will be used as necessary. Experimental projects will be drawn from a variety of applications of chemistry. For some exploratory projects, students will research and develop experimental procedures. Students will be expected to demonstrate their understanding of the work done through performance in laboratory, analysis of data, and written and oral laboratory reports. Prerequisite: CHEM 221. One three-hour laboratory. One hour each. Ms. Michelsen.
-
3.00 Credits
These courses focus on areas of chemistry not specifically covered in the general curriculum and are designed to meet the needs of advanced students. Three hours. Staff.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce chemistry majors who express an interest in pursuing a career in chemistry to industrial and institutional research and development. Each student will spend four weeks (five days per week) in an industrial or institutional scientific laboratory. Actual work performed will be determined by on-site supervisors. Prerequisites: CHEM 222, 311, 341L or 342L, 321, a grade point average of 3.00 in all chemistry courses, and departmental approval. Offered as needed during January term. Enrollment is limited. Application required; see Internship Program. Three hours. Staff.
-
8.00 Credits
A student who wishes to work on a research project for eight hours per day, five days per week, for four weeks during the January term will have the opportunity to do so in this course. Daily logs, weekly reports, and a final report must be written to the satisfaction of a faculty supervisor. Prerequisites: CHEM 222, 321, 311 and 341L or 342L. Offered as needed during January term. Three hours. Staff.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is offered for those students who want to pursue a career in some area of the health-related sciences. It should be of interest to both chemistry and biology majors. Studies are made of the chemical structures of drugs and their direct influence on pharmacological activity. Many classifications of drugs are covered, and emphasis is placed on structures, mechanisms of action, and structure- activity relationships. Students are expected to obtain an understanding of the structural features of drugs which cause them to produce various types of biological responses. This basic understanding will support further studies in such fields as medicine, dentistry, biochemistry, or pharmaceutical chemistry. Prerequisite: CHEM 222. Introductory biology is helpful, but not required. Offered alternate years. Three hours. Ms. Green.
