21 courses with the subject CHEM, 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.
CHEM 120Kitchen Chemistry – An introduction to the biological and
chemical concepts of cooking, including concepts that are relevant to daily life. Students will gain practice in critically thinking about the scientific world around them and identifying sustainable practices of food production. Not applicable toward a chemistry major or minor unless by consent of the Chair of Scientific Learning. Three-hour lecture and two-hour laboratory weekly. Offered spring term odd years. Four semester hours.
CHEM 150Chemistry and Society - A one-semester chemistry course
which focuses upon chemistry in the context of every day experiences. Topics such as alternative fuels, plastics and polymers, nutrition, genetic engineering, and acid rain will be discussed within the context of their social political, and ethical implications. The underlying chemical principles will be included on a need-to-know basis to help students develop critical thinking skills in the area of consumer chemistry. Not applicable toward a chemistry undergraduate course descriptions 133 major or minor unless by consent of the Chair of Scientific Learning. Three-hour lecture and two-hour laboratory weekly. Offered spring term odd years
