3.00 Credits
This course provides an in-depth study of the chemistry behind polymeric materials. The course will focus on an in-depth examination of various polymers and ceramics, including reaction mechanisms, structural variations, energy of formation, and methods of characterization. Students will learn to perform various statistical and kinetic calculations in relation to polymer formation. Students will also learn the chemical basis behind the physical properties of polymers and the engineering methods used to test such factors. Prerequisite: CHEM 222, Math 132 or 142, Recommended: CHEM 311-312. Three hours. Ms. Marchetti.

3.00 Credits
This course offers chemistry majors an in-depth study of the fundamental principles of inorganic chemistry. Topics such as bonding, molecular geometry, and the chemical reactions of ionic, covalent, and metallic substances will be discussed. Concepts of acid-base chemistry (Bronsted- Lowry, Lewis, Drago, and Lux-Flood systems) will be examined. The student will study the synthesis, structure, properties, and periodic trends of the main-group elements as well as the coordination chemistry and descriptive chemistry, bonding, spectroscopy, thermodynamics, kinetics, and structure of the compounds of the transition elements. Applications to organometallic chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry will be introduced. This course is required for an ACS-approved degree. Prerequisite: CHEM 312 or permission of the instructor. Offered alternate years. Three hours. Mr. Schreiner.

3.00 Credits
An in-depth study of the chemistry of living systems.Amajor theme of the course will be the relationship betweenmolecular structure, function, and regulation. Topics to be covered will include: structures of amino acids, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids; protein folding; enzymes, enzyme kinetics, and regulation; protein-ligand interactions; multivalent interactions. CHEM222 is a prerequisite. Introductory biology is helpful, but not required. Three hours. Ms. Green.
-
1.00 Credits
This course is the laboratory companion to CHEM 407. The course is project-based and will focus on techniques in protein chemistry such as expression, purification, identification, manipulation, and enzyme kinetics. CHEM 407 is a co-requisite. One threehour lab session per week. One hour. Ms. Green.
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of the in-depth study of the chemistry of living systems.A major theme of the course will be the relationship between molecular structure, function, and regulation. Topics to be covered will include: degradative and synthetic metabolic pathways of various classes of molecules; synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins; expression of genetic information. The laboratory portion of the course will focus on techniques of nucleic acid manipulation and advanced protein techniques. Chem 407 is a prerequisite. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Four hours. Ms. Green.
-
1.00 Credits
This course serves to present chemistry and the chemist in a variety of contexts. Lectures given by students and guest speakers describe recent chemical research, discuss chemists' participation in industry, law, medicine, and other areas, and emphasize written and oral communication of technical information. Senior status required. Speaking intensive. One hour. Staff.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
An introduction to the molecular characterization of various classes of compounds. Experimental projects will be drawn from diverse areas of chemistry: organometallics, polymer, bioorganic, bioinorganic, etc. Numerous techniques (for example spectroscopic, electrochemical, or calorimetric) will be used as needed in lab. Students will be expected to demonstrate their understanding of the work done through performance in lab, preparation of written laboratory reports, and oral presentations in class. One threehour laboratory session per week. Prerequisites: CHEM 222, 311 and 342L or permission of the instructor. One hour. Mr. Schreiner.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
A synthesis of CHEM 341-342 and CHEM 441. Students participating in this course will select and carry out a research project covering an area of current chemical investigation. The project may be selected from the traditional areas of chemistry (inorganic, organic, analytical, physical, or biochemistry) or from an interface between these areas. An oral presentation and a final report must be given at the conclusion of the course. One three-hour laboratory session per week. Prerequisites: CHEM 325, CHEM 312 and CHEM 441L. One hour. Staff.

9.00 Credits
The purpose of this sequence is to allow qualified students to carry out original experimental work. Considerable self-discipline, diligence, and ingenuity on the part of the student are necessary. Students may spend the entire period working on a research project of their own choice, upon approval and under the guidance of the departmental faculty, or on projects designed by and of interest to individual faculty members. In either case, students may be required to use techniques and apparatus which may not have been available to them in other courses. They will be expected to plan and carry out their work on their own initiative to the satisfaction of the faculty member directly involved and of the department.A written thesis and several oral presentations are required. The equivalent of nine hours of laboratory work per week, in addition to time required for library research and thesis preparation, is expected of each student who enrolls in this sequence. The ultimate goal of this training is to impart to each student self-reliance and confidence concerning laboratory research. All qualified students who intend to pursue graduate work in chemistry are urged to enroll in this sequence. Prerequisites: CHEM 325 and 311 and departmental approval. Six hours. Staff.

3.00 Credits
Introduction to modern spoken Chinese (Mandarin). Its purpose is to provide students ample opportunity to practice speaking and listening. It includes language and cultural behavior appropriate to interactions between Americans and Chinese. Permission of the chair needed. Three hours. Ms. Wu.
