CHEM 1001Chemical Concepts3
Fall and Spring Semesters CHEM 1001 is a one-semester course designed to introduce students to the fundamental principles of general, organic and biological chemistry with an emphasis on applications in the nursing and health related fields. We will begin with an overview of measurements, unit conversions and density. We will examine the structure of the atom, modes of bonding, Lewis structures, VSEPR theory, nomenclature, stoichiometry, gas laws, solutions and acid/base properties. After studying the basic principles of general chemistry we will examine hydrocarbons, and learn how to recognize organic compounds containing heteroatom functional groups. We will finish the semester discussing how these organic functional groups relate to the structure of natural occurring substances for example simple esters (flavors and fragrances) and biological molecules for example proteins, lipids and carbohydrates. Fee. This course meets the Curry Core Science Breadth and Quantitative Literacy Enhancement requirements.
Successful completion of MATH 1000 or demonstrated proficiency on the Mathematics Assessment.
Corequisite
CHEM 1002.
CHEM 1002Laboratory for Chemical Concepts1
Fall and Spring Semesters CHEM 1002 is designed to provide hands-on laboratory experience using appropriate experiments applicable for students in the nursing and health related fields. Students will develop several laboratory techniques including gravity filtration, centrifugation, vacuum filtration, titration and extraction as they collect, analyze and evaluate experimental data and present their results in a written format. Fee. This course meets the Curry Core Science Breadth and Quantitative Literacy Enhancement requirements.

Fall and Spring Semesters CHEM 1110 is designed to provide hands-on laboratory experience using appropriate experiments for science majors. The laboratory exercises have been carefully selected to (1) reinforce your understanding of chemistry principles discussed in lecture, and (2) help you establish strong laboratory skills. Students will develop several laboratory techniques including gravity filtration, centrifugation, vacuum filtration and titration as they collect, analyze and evaluate experimental data and present their results in a written format. Fee. 307 / 615
Alternate Fall or Spring Semesters The laboratory activities are designed to provide a context for the abstract concepts covered in class. Students working in teams develop problem solving, data collection, data analysis and presentation skills using standard and custom-built instrumentation.
Alternate Fall or Spring Semesters This course will provide a contemporary introduction to the discipline of inorganic chemistry. Students will develop their understanding of the structure, bonding, and reactivity of inorganic compounds. Principle topics covered include: symmetry and group theory, bonding models, coordination chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry.
Examination of advanced topics in biochemistry, particularly those from the current literature. The course content will vary according to the interests of the students and the instructor; topics covered may include enzymology and mechanisms of signaling pathways, medicinal chemistry and drug discovery, toxicology, and modern biochemical techniques.
Fall and Spring Semesters This course will give students an overview of the relevant scientific literature relating to their research project with an emphasis on evaluating, analyzing and reporting their research findings. After completion of authentic research on a question/problem, either in the field, or in a lab on campus or off campus; or in libraries/internet; students will write-up research report and give a public oral presentation to the Science Department and others. Signature of faculty supervisor and Department Chair required. year. This course can serve as a substitute for BIOL/CHEM/ENVS/FSC 4000 for Honors candidates.
Fall and Spring Semesters Independent research on a topic of current interest. Principles of experimental field or laboratory research are performed under a faculty member’s supervision. Student will be required to do actual research in the lab or field with the goal of creating authentic and novel scientific research data and conclusions. Signature of faculty supervisor and department chair required. year. This course meets the Curry Core Active Learning requirement. Students may take this course more than one time for credit.
Permission of area instructor. The project must begin no later than the fall of the student’s senior
CHEM 4200Laboratory Research in the Sciences1
Fall and Spring Semesters This is a structured, guided, open-ended, inquiry course designed to build a core research skillset in the sciences to develop students’ ability to work independently in the lab. Students will investigate literature in the field and throughout the semester gain understanding of the nature research question and methodology that will be used in their investigation. Students will work with their instructor and peers to develop an authentic research project based on scientific literature. Students will then conduct actual laboratory, computer-based, or field experiments to work toward understanding their research question. Students should expect to be available and come to the laboratory/field at additional times other than the scheduled course meeting time to work on the research project. Fee. permission of instructor. This course meets the Curry Core Active Learning requirement.
