24 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 is designed for non-science majors. Students who successfully complete the course will understand basic chemistry principles and how these principles relate to the world around them. Topics covered include chemical elements in portable electronics, chemistry aspects in air pollution, sun radiation, 550
This general elective course explores the use of STEM throughout media by exploring several Media Clips which will include movie segments, news articles and internet postings dealing with scientific issues. We will explore how the selected segments portray science and the fundamental science behind the Media Clip. Movies often present greatly exaggerated extensions of scientific concepts resulting from the script writer’s poetic license altering these concepts beyond the realms of reality to make the movies even more exciting. Some Media Clips will be preceded by a guest lecture from a suitable expert in the scientific field featured in the specific clip. Part of your final exam will be an online assignment in which you will use the skills and the science concepts taught in the course to independently delve even deeper into both the science and its dramatized representation in a particular Media Clip of your choice. Course offered occasionally.
This course is designed for the non-science majors who are interested in developing a basic understanding and overview of physics and chemistry, and those who wish to develop an appreciation for the nature of the universe. Topics covered include forces and motion, energy, heat, sound, light, electricity, and magnetism, chemical elements, chemical bonding, chemical reactions, the solar system and the universe, the atmosphere, atmospheric effects and the other earth’s systems.
This chemistry survey course presents an overview of the fundamentals of general, organic, and biological chemistry. Students are expected to develop a basic understanding of core models used in chemistry to describe, explain and predict properties of matter in qualitative and quantitative manners. Students who do not place into College Algebra, MAT- 0115 or a higher level math course must first take this course and its associated one-credit laboratory before enrolling in CHE-0142 General Chemistry I.
The course is the laboratory to accompany General Chemistry Fundamentals lecture, CHE 130. It enhances students learning of chemical concepts through hands-on experiments. Emphasis is placed on matter, measurement, energy and chemical reactions.
The study of selected current environmental issues and their scientific, social, economic and philosophical origin and implications for the global community as it works toward a sustainable future.

Laboratory experience, General Chemistry II.
An in-depth study of intermolecular forces, solutions, colligative properties, chemical kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases, thermodynamics and electrochemistry.
Laboratory experience, General Chemistry II.
Offered occasionally. 572
Laboratory experience, Organic Chemistry I.
A further study of organic molecules including aromatic as well as aliphatic compounds. Emphasis is on reaction mechanisms and synthetic applications. Offered spring semester.
Laboratory experience, Organic Chemistry II.
This course is an introduction to the structure, bonding and reactivity of elements and compounds, focusing primarily on transition metal complexes. Standard theories and applications of inorganic chemistry as well as aspects of current research will also be covered in this course.
The study of the quantitative applications of chemical analysis as it applies to chemical equilibrium, acid/base chemistry, electrochemistry. It includes the theory and interpretation of UV-Visible, IR, NMR and mass spectroscopy. Spreadsheet application to problem solving and the use of computer-assisted statistical analysis of data and data presentation will be an integrated part of the course. Classical analysis techniques and modern separation methods (GC and HPLC) are included as well. 552
Taken at a SEPCHE school. This course looks at the first, second, and third laws of thermodynamics; phase equilibria and chemical equilibria; gases; and electrochemistry will be covered in this course.
This course is a study of the underlying principles and applications of nanomaterials. Emphasis is placed on the nanoscale paradigm in terms of properties, applications of nanomaterials, ethical and societal issues related to nanoscience and nanotechnology. Students will use their newly gained knowledge to examine applications of nanomaterials such as SMART materials, sensors, optical and biomedical materials. Literature research will also be integrated into this course. Offered every fall semester.
A study of the structure and function of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between macromolecular conformation and function. Membrane structure and transport will be covered as well as basic bioenergetics and enzyme catalysis. Clinical correlations will be made where appropriate. Enzyme and binding kinetics will be examined as well as the use of the computer to collect, analyze, tabulate, and graph experimental results. The course has a writing component designed to develop the student’s literature research skills. Offered spring semester.
A study of the mechanisms and regulation of intermediary metabolism with a human focus. Signal transduction, protein translocation, nuclear structure and transport, and cell cycle regulation will be covered. Emphasis will be placed on the physiological implications of biomolecular function and the relationship to metabolic, hormonal, and carcinogenic disease. The course contains a significant writing component to further develop the student’s literature searching and technical writing skills. Offered fall semester.
Participation in a research project under the direct supervision of a faculty member or at an off-campus research center. Offered every other year as needed.
A seminar based on the presentation of papers on current topics in chemistry followed by discussion. Offered spring semester. 553
Topic selected by the student under the direction of a faculty member. Open to senior chemistry majors.
