-
3.00 Credits
One Unit. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly in each course. The general principles governing the behavior of matter are investigated. Topics include the laws of thermodynamics, engines and refrigeration, gases, phase diagrams, chemical equilibrium, electrochemistry, fuel cells and batteries, kinetics, bonding theories, atomic structure and quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, and selected topics in solid state chemistry. The laboratory refl ects the topics covered in class and includes techniques for calorimetry, optical microscopy, conductance, kinetics, spectroscopy, and dilatometry. Prerequisites: CH 211, 212, 214; PY 131, 132 or 141, 142; MA 223. CH 313 offered fall semester, 314 offered spring semester.
-
1.00 Credits
One Unit. A course covering the principles and applications of various chemical and electronic tests used in hospitals. Discussions will include procedures, such as automatic chemical analyzers, audiometry, electronic blood pressure instruments, spirometry, electro and vector cardiography, and the use of various radioactive tracers in scanning the brain, lungs, and liver, as well as radioimmunoassay procedures for ultrasonography and CAT and PET scanners. Field trips to a hospital will be included. The course is intended for students planning a medical career and should be helpful for premedical students, nurses, microbiologists, and hospital administrators. Prerequisites: two units each of biology and chemistry. Offered fall semester.
-
1.00 Credits
One Unit. Presentation and discussion of current research topics in various areas of chemistry by staff, students, and visitors. Offered spring semester.
-
0.00 Credits
Zero units. This course, open only to senior chemistry majors, is one of the experiential options available to students completing their senior learning community. Experiences are a combination of acting as lab assistant for a laboratory course and a research project leading to signifi cant pedagogical contributions to the course, culminating in a written laboratory procedure, report, and possible publication. The student will work with a faculty mentor. At least 100 experiential hours are required for successful completion of the course. Offered fall and spring semesters. Prerequisite: approval of faculty mentor and a minimum grade of B in the course and lab under study. Cross-listed with PY 400E.
-
4.00 Credits
One Unit. Supervised research experience open only to dual majors in Childhood Education and Natural Science. Recommended for students in their junior or senior year. Four hours per week researching, designing, and possibly testing pedagogical tools that enhance teaching and learning of chemical concepts required to be taught in elementary school by the New York State Department of Education. Prerequisite: CH 112. Offered as needed.
-
1.00 Credits
One Unit. This course is open to senior chemistry majors. The student will be assigned an original problem to work on throughout the two semesters and will submit a paper on the work. This work, which includes the use of chemical literature, will be performed under the supervision of one of the faculty members acting as senior RFT advisor. 491 offered fall semester, 492 offered spring semester.
