13 courses with the subject CHE, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
This course serves as an introduction to the clinical and industrial laboratory experience to follow. Laboratory organization and safety will be stressed. Basic laboratory techniques will be introduced.
This course introduces the basic concepts and principles of chemistry. It is suitable for students who have had little, if any, instruction in chemistry. The course provides an integrated lecture and laboratory experience. Topics include measurement and unit conversions, physical and chemical properties, states of matter and energy, atomic structure, chemical periodicity, chemical nomenclature, chemical bonds, Lewis structures, and molecular shapes, chemical reactions, the mole concept and stoichiometry, properties of gases, acid-base solutions and the pH concept.
This course is the first of a two-semester inorganic chemistry sequence. Major topics include; significant figures, scientific notation, scientific method, the metric system and measurements, nomenclature, atomic structure, chemical reactions and equations, formula calculations and stoichiometry, heats of reaction, calorimetry, Hess’s Law, gas laws, atomic and molecular theory, structure and chemical bonding using VSEPR Theory, states of matter (gasses, liquids, solids) thermochemistry and solutions. This course is desiged for students who are pursuing a career or further study in the sciences or engineering. The laboratory component reinforces the general theories and principles of chemistry that are introcuded and emphasized in lectures.
This course is the second half of a general chemistry course and includes as the major topics: thermochemistry, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibria, thermodynamics, precipitation reactions, electrochemistry, and nuclear chemistry. Laboratory experiments are designed to augment the theory. A major part of the laboratory includes qualitative and quantitative analysis to strengthen the student in the field of analytical chemistry.
CHE 245 is designed to enable students in the allied health science and related fields to understand and solve common problems related to the body and to our environment. The course will introduce students to the different classes of organic compounds and their reactions as applicable to biochemistry. Topics covered include nomenclature, structure, physical properties and chemical reactions of the major classes of organic compounds. the course will also present a brief overview of acids and bases and the importance of buffers in maintaining equilibrium, as well as instrumental techniques employed in analysis of organic compounds.
This course introduces students to foundational knowledge and skills in organic chemistry including the structure, nomenclature, properties, preparation, and reactions of the major classes of organic compounds. Classes studied include saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, halides, alcohols, ethers, and common organic acids and bases. Identification of all common classes of organic compounds is presented using infra-red spectroscopy. The laboratory component of the course includes procedures and techniques dealing with non-aqueous systems, synthesis, purification, separation, and qualitative testing.
This course provides an essential overview of the structure, reactions, and biological importance of complex biomolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, enzymes, and nucleic acids.
This course covers the theory behind the operation of various types of chemical instrumentation. Topics covered include: spectrophotometry as applied to absorption, emission, fluorescence, turbidity and nephelometry; electrochemistry as applied to ion selective electrodes; chromatography; mass spectrometry; medical diagnostic testing machines as applied to point-of-care testing; instrument automation and methods of calibration including Beer’s Law and internal standard calibration techniques.
Biochemistry introduces the structural components of living things and the physical and chemical properties of biological compounds. This course will focus on specific biological macromolecules including but not limited to carbohydrates, amino acids, nucleic acids, and lipids. The structures, functions, and impacts these macromolecules have on a living system will be examined. Students will learn important processes occurring within a biological system and the impact these biomolecules have on that system. Biochemistry lab introduces the fundamental techniques and approaches involved in the study of biochemistry, including protein purification, DNA extraction, gel electrophoresis, identification of biomolecules, and quantification and data analysis.
This course is designed for those students pursuing a career in any chemistry laboratory. The application and theory of instrumentation to chemical analysis is stressed. Emphasis is placed on spectophotometry (infrared, visible, and ultraviolet), potentiometry, and chromatography. Statistical quality control of analytical procedures and issues related to the safe use of hazardous materials are also included.
Varies Credit Hours This course allows faculty to provide students with additional, timely learning experiences in their area of study. Each course of one to four credits is scheduled when needed with a unique topic, a specific syllabus, appropriate enrollment requirements and prerequisite courses. Up to 12 credits of special studies courses may be applied to a student’s program, insofar as they fit into the program requirements. (A special studies course may be repeated if a different specific topic is offered.) Special studies courses that are later approved as on-going courses in substantially the same form will not be counted toward the 12- credit limit.
