3.00 Credits
A study of medicinal compounds such as pharmacodynamic and chemotheraputic agents, vitamins and hormones. Considers the relationship of physio-chemical properties of drugs to their biological activity. Prerequisite: CHEMU 215 or equivalent, or permission of instructor. Offered alternate years.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of the scope and modern aspects of toxicology. Emphasizes clinical manifestations (symptoms and treatment) of acute, sub acute, and chronic intoxication, and current analytical methodology. Each type of poisoning studied is supported by actual case histories and analytical data. Prerequisite: CHEMU 215 or equivalent, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines sources and reactions of undesirable chemicals that have gotten into the atmosphere, water, and land through the activities of modern civilization. Investigates why these compounds are harmful to animal and plant life. Discusses technological responses (waste management, source reduction, and remediation) as well as societal and political responses. Prerequisite: CHEMU 215
-
3.00 Credits

-
3.00 Credits
Integrates general principles of education and the teaching process into the teaching of chemistry on a secondary level. Special focus on preparing and conducting laboratory experiments. Required of all who seek secondary certification in chemistry. Offered as needed.
-
5.00 Credits
Coverage includes periodicity and descriptive chemistry of the elements; symmetry, structure and bonding, solid-state chemistry and catalysis; reaction mechanisms of transition metal complexes; and spectroscopy. Prepares the student to understand current research in organic, organometallic and bioinorganic chemistry. Laboratory activities include synthesis and analysis of classical and organometallic complexes and solid-state compounds. Microscale, high temperature, light-activated and oxygen-free synthesis techniques will be employed. Analysis methods will include infrared, atomic absorption, visible, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory. Prerequisite: CHEMU 215, or permission of the instructor.
