0.50 Credits
Q. Shen, E. Woods This half-semester 0.50-credit course introduces modern simulation techniques in computational chemistry, including ab initio calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. Students learn the underlying theory of these methods at a basic level while getting hands-on experience studying chemical systems of their choice, from isolated molecules to aqueous biomolecules. Prerequisites: CHEM 334 or permission of instructor. Offered in alternate years.
-
0.50 Credits
Q. Shen, E. Woods This half-semester 0.50-credit course starts with a review of pertinent statistics, quantum chemistry and spectroscopy topics. The concepts of ensemble, partition function and their relationship with ideal gas thermodynamic quantities like internal energy, entropy, Gibbs energy, equilibrium constant, and other macroscopic observations are discussed. Prerequisites: CHEM 333 or permission of instructor. Offered in alternate years.

0.50 Credits
R. Geier, G. Gogel, E. Nolen, R. Rowlett This half-semester 0.50-credit course is dedicated to exploring the chemical themes and mechanisms of biological metabolism. Specifically, the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, amino acids, and nucleotides are investigated. Prerequisite: CHEM 264. Offered in alternate years.
-
0.50 Credits
G. Gogel, R. Rowlett This half-semester 0.50-credit biochemistry course covers the energy processes in living systems. The major focus of the course is mammalian biochemistry and cellular respiration in the mitochondria, but bacterial biochemistry and photosynthesis are also discussed. Prerequisite: CHEM 264. Offered in alternate years.
-
0.50 Credits
R. Geier, E. Nolen In this half-semester 0.50-credit course, a detailed study of organic reaction mechanisms is presented. Key mechanistic pathways are examined. Proposal of plausible mechanisms for organic reactions, experiments used to gain insight into reaction mechanisms, and the importance of mechanistic insight toward the practical application of organic reactions are considered. Classic organic reactions as well as recent examples from the primary literature are discussed. Prerequisite: CHEM 264. Offered in alternate years.
-
0.50 Credits
R. Geier, E. Nolen In this half-semester 0.50-credit course, a detailed study of the synthesis of organic compounds is presented. Particular attention is given to functional group compatibility, diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity, recent developments in organic reactions, as well as reaction catalysis. The primary literature is examined with an eye to better understand the design of the synthetic approach. Prerequisite: CHEM 264. Offered in alternate years.
-
0.50 Credits
R. Geier, G. Gogel, E. Nolen, R. Rowlett In this half-semester 0.50-credit course, the basic principles of the drug discovery process are explored. Topics include traditional and novel approaches, mode of action, quantitative structure activity relationships, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and inactivation of medicinal agents. In addition, major drug classes are presented along with specific case studies for each category. Prerequisite: CHEM 264. Offered in alternate years.

0.50 Credits
K. Broekhuizen This half-semester 0.50-credit course focuses on the chemistry of significant environmental issues. Topics may include global climate, ozone depletion, water chemistry, nuclear chemistry, and others. As the environment does not discriminate, the course does not discriminate but incorporates all areas of chemistry necessary to examine the environmental issue of interest. Prerequisite: CHEM 333 and 334, or permission of the instructor. Offered in alternate years.

8.00 Credits
Staff Original research projects designed for student collaboration with faculty members provide a variety of laboratory experiences. The purpose is to build on and consolidate the student's previous experiences in literature searching, project design, use of modern instrumentation for data acquisition and analysis, problem solution, and oral and written communication of results. A minimum of eight hours of laboratory work per week are required, during each of two terms. Each student will give an oral presentation of his or her project at the weekly chemistry department seminar and submit written end-of-term reports. In the spring term, a student who is a candidate for a degree with honors will submit and defend a thesis in lieu of a written report. Pre- or co-requisites: CHEM 333 or 334 or 336.

2.00 Credits
Staff This course introduces students to the fundamentals of computers and technology. It aims to provide the understanding needed to effectively utilize technology and to assess its impact on our lives and careers. The course includes an overview of how computer systems and networks work, including the principles and methods behind the operation of the Internet and the World Wide Web. Students learn to compose web pages using HTML. Other computer applications, such as spreadsheets and databases, are also studied; and a basic introduction to algorithmic and programming concepts is included. The course includes a weekly two-hour laboratory. The required credit-bearing laboratory COSC 100L must be taken concurrently with COSC 100. No computer experience is required. The course does not count toward the major. This course is crosslisted as CORE 126.
