The brewing of beer from malted grains can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians. The biology and chemistry of brewing, from the extraction of the sugars and nutrients from the grains through the fermentation process is now reasonably well understood, with modern brewery operations relying on analytical chemistry to produce consistent products. This interdisciplinary course will introduce students to yeast culture and analysis techniques and the procedures that are utilized to analyze beer and wort. Students will learn about the complete process of brewing by analyzing the process as it continues. Other applications of fermentation will be discussed. This will be primarily a laboratory based course with the number of students restricted to 18.

This course will take a multidisciplinary approach to studying the island of Hawaii. Hawaii is one of the newest landmasses on Earth, and therefore can provide scientists with insights into how islands form and become inhabited. The fact that this is such a new natural environment does not, however, mean that it is pristine. Already this island is being adversely affected not only by the natural elements but also by commercial exploitation. Important aspects of our discussions will include island formation and the responsibilities that people have for the stewardship of the island known as "America's Paradise." There are two optional Scuba diving experiences for those that have their open water certification. One experience is included in the price of the trip; a second night dive with Manta Rays is available for an additional expense. This course fulfills the Engaging the World requirement.

Molecular modeling is a collection of computer-based techniques for representing molecular structures both graphically and numerically and simulating their behavior. This course aims to introduce the hierarchy of computational modeling methods and the underlying physical principles used for searching, rationalizing and predicting structure and reactivity for a variety of chemical and biological systems ranging from hydrogen to protein interaction networks. Students will become familiar with and experience the methods used in different scientific disciplines including basic programming skills, navigating, displaying and understanding the massive amounts of computerized data, and using different computational methods to visualize relationships between the microscopic structure of molecules and their macroscopic properties.

This course will explore the science behind crime scene investigations and forensic analysis of materials collected from such scenes. The course will be approximately 50% lab based and 50% classroom based. The laboratory exercises will utilize the instruments available in the advanced chemistry labs to explore analytical techniques used by forensic scientists. The classroom activities will provide background information on forensic science and will include student presentations and discussions. Mandatory prerequisites are CHEM*111 and CHEM*112.

Since the Cuban revolution ended in 1959, the US embargo of Cuba began in 1960, and the US backed Bay of Pigs invasion failed in 1961, Cuba has held a unique place both in the Western Hemisphere and in the American psyche. For many Americans this has resulted in the formation of a myriad of perceptions and misconceptions about Cuba, which in many cases are based on very little information or fact. This May Term Study Experience will provide students with a firsthand opportunity to evaluate their own perceptions of Cuba and confront their misconceptions of this Caribbean island nation through the lenses of environmental science, environmental policy, politico-economics, music, dance, language, and culture. Students will also be immersed in the Spanish language during homestays and interview assignments, as well as the famous music and dance of Cuba.
