3.00 Credits
Fall (3 credits), Spring (3 credits). Introductory course for students wishing to explore the sciences or needing preparation for General Chemistry. Topics in chemistry relevant to the environment, such as energy needs, pollution, pesticides, and polymers, will be discussed. Three hours lecture. No background in chemistry is required; recommended for non-science majors. NU only.
-
3.00 Credits
May Term (3 credits). For students interested in exploring the link between chemistry and art. Students investigate topics such as color, light, the photochemistry of photography and fading, the physical and chemical properties of metals and alloys, natural and synthetic dyes, clays, ceramics, authentication of works of art, and conservation of art. Three hours lecture and laboratory. No background in chemistry is required; recommended for non-majors. Offered as needed. EV or NU only.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall, (4 credits), Spring (4 credits), or May Term (3 credits). A course in forensic science intended to introduce the student to the role science plays in the criminal investigation process and the criminal justice system. This course will present the techniques, skills, and limitations of the modern crime laboratory for students with no background in the sciences. Offered as needed. EV and NU only.
-
3.00 Credits
Fall (3 credits), Spring (3 credits), May Term (3 credits). Study of the nature of scientific investigation and its relationship to societal and individual needs. Specific scientific discoveries, philosophies, and moral theories are discussed. Examination of the interactions of the scientific world communities, through the analysis of current controversial areas of research and technology.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits). Investigation of foods and the chemistry behind them. Students interested in food engineering, nutrition, as well as the science of cooking will be able to explore the links between molecular structure, interactions, and the way our food looks, tastes and feels. How different cultures have developed different techniques for preserving, processing, and approaching food will also be looked at. Recommended for non-majors. Prerequisite: Good math skills. Offered as needed. EV and NU only.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits), Spring (4 credits). Introduction to chemical stoichiometry and modern views of the properties, structure, and reactivity of atoms and molecules. The first semester emphasis is on the study of chemical principles in relationship to the world around us. The second semester emphasis is on group learning in a project-oriented laboratory. Laboratory work includes qualitative and quanti tative analysis. Fall: four hours lecture and recitation, three hours laboratory. Spring: seven hours laboratory and group learning. Prerequisites for CHEM 131: high school algebra and trigonometry. Prerequisite for CHEM 132: CHEM 131 or permission. Required for students majoring in biology, chemistry, or physics.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits), Spring (4 credits). The chemistry of carbon-containing com - pounds; their structure, nomenclature, physical properties, spectroscopy (IR, GC-MS, NMR), stereochemistry, chemical reactivities, mechanisms of reaction, and synthesis. Four hours lecture, three hours laboratory. Prerequisite: CHEM 132. Prerequisite for CHEM 232 is CHEM 231.
-
4.00 Credits
Spring (4 credits). Equilibrium, oxidation-reduction, acid-base chemistry specifically designed with applications in biology, clinical chemistry, or environmental analysis. Laboratory experience covers sample preparation, titrations, statistical analysis, and an overview of instrumental methods used in these applied fields including molecular UV/Vis and atomic absorbance spectroscopy, fluorometry, ion electrodes, gas and liquid chromatography, and electrophoresis. Prerequisite: CHEM 132 and college algebra, or equivalent. Offered as needed. NU only.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits). Study of the structure and function of biological molecules (including proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids), enzymes, and metabolic pathways. Four hours lecture, three hours laboratory. Prerequisite: CHEM 232.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits). Principles of analytical chemistry with emphasis on precise measurements and instrumental methods including molecular and atomic absorption spectrometry, potentiometric and electrolytic methods, separation techniques, chromatography, mass spectrometry, and other specialized instrumental techniques. Experimental design, sampling, and error reduction are studied along with statistical methods of evaluating uncertainty in laboratory results. Prerequisite: CHEM 232 and MATH 119 or MATH 121. NU or EV only.
