4.00 Credits
A survey of industrial and academic workplace safety as well as home safety, with a focus on increasing awareness concerning hazardous situations. The legal, economic and environmental impact of accidents is considered. Topics include: requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) legislation; Worker Right-to-Know laws; individual and corporate responsibility; emergency planning & preparedness; chemical, electrical, mechanical, biological, blood borne pathogen, radioactive material and firerelated safety; materials storage, waste disposal and proper labeling; Material Safety Data Sheets; and laboratory safety in industrial and academic settings. Current and historical events related to these topics are discussed. The course includes visits to local industries to meet with professional safety officers (transportation is included) and to survey the practice of industrial hygiene. Prerequisite: CHE 105 or permission of instructor

3.00 Credits
A study of the chemistry of carbon and other nonmetals (including hydrogen, boron, nitrogen, phosphorous, oxygen, sulfur and the halogens) as grouped into characteristic classes of organic compounds. Topics include the structure, bonding, physical properties and reactivity of covalent and ionic molecules as well as organometallic species. Paradigms of stereochemistry, reaction mechanism, reaction kinetics and thermodynamics, and structure/ property correlation are considered. Spectroscopic analysis (circular dichroism, infrared, ultraviolet-visible, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass) is applied to structural studies. aboratory work is devoted to the synthesis and characterization of organic compounds, the study of molecular modeling and the study of reaction kinetics and thermodynamics. Emphasis is placed on proper laboratory technique; experiment design; and laboratory data collection, reporting, and interpretation. Three hours of lecture, one hour of conference group and four hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHE 106
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of Organic Chemistry I utilizing the foundations established in that course for the study of the chemistry of organic molecules including their physical and chemical properties; synthesis and characteristic reactions; and identification by chemical and spectroscopic analysis. Topics are organized by functional group (an atom or group of atoms in a molecule that exhibit a characteristic set of physical and chemical properties) and are considered in the context of organic synthesis as well as biological, economic and environmental import. Laboratory work is devoted to the synthesis and characterization of organic compounds. Physical characterization, spectroscopic techniques and qualitative analysis are employed in the elucidation of structure. Emphasis is placed on proper laboratory technique; experiment design; and laboratory data collection, reporting and interpretation. Three hours of lecture, one hour of conference group and four hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHE 207
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of basic physical chemical principles, with emphasis on classical and statistical thermodynamics and introductory quantum theory. Three hours lecture and four hours laboratory per week. Prerequisites: CHE 106, 208; PHY 202; MAT 108
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of 321, with emphasis on reaction kinetics and modern structural concepts. Three hours lecture and four hours laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHE 321
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the theory of modern instrumental methods of chemical analysis. Topics include various spectroscopic techniques such as infrared, ultraviolet-visible, fluorescence, atomic absorption and emission, and nuclear magnetic resonance. Mass spectrometry, liquid and gas chromatography, and various evaluative mathematical techniques also are discussed. Three hours lecture and four hours laboratory per week. Corequisite: CHE 321
-
3.00 Credits
Modern concepts of inorganic chemical structure and bonding are examined in detail. The application of the theories and inorganic structures are illustrated with examples from environmental, bioinorganic and industrial chemistry. Modern methods of synthesis and analysis of inorganic compounds are the focus of the laboratory. Three hours lecture and four hours laboratory per week. Corequisite: CHE 322
-
3.00 Credits
This course offers a fairly rigorous coverage of the organic chemistry of the major classes of biomolecules. It introduces the relationships between chemical structure and biological function within living organisms, which provide a foundation for the understanding of intermediary metabolism. The course begins with a review of the structures of cells and organelles, the essentials of biomolecules, the properties of an aqueous environment, and introduces the central concepts of bioenergetics and thermodynamics. It continues with a description of the structures and functions of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids. In each case structure and composition of these molecules are related to their biological functions. The laboratory introduces a variety of basic techniques commonly used in the isolation, purification, characterization and analysis of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids, the principle classes of biomolecules. Three hours lecture and four hours laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHE 208

3.00 Credits
The course begins by examining the dynamics of life by studying catalysis and the design of metabolic pathways. The latter portion of the course is concerned with the integrated network of chemical reactions involved in metabolism. It deals with the energetics of life, the reactions by which organisms degrade molecules to release the energy stored therein, how they use that energy to synthesize other molecules, and how organisms regulate the pathways by which molecules are degraded or synthesized. This portion is largely focused on the various pathways involved in carbohydrate metabolism. The laboratory introduces a variety of basic techniques commonly used in the isolation, purification, characterization and analysis of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids, the principle classes of biomolecules. Three hours lecture and four hours laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHE 325
-
3.00 Credits
A problem solving workshop and discussion of papers from the organic chemical literature. The topics include physical and mechanistic organic chemistry, including molecular orbital theory. The laboratory will focus on synthetic reaction development, NMR techniques and modern computational methods. Three hours of lecture, four hours of laboratory and one hour of conference per week. Prerequisite: CHE 322
