Chemistry

Laboratory to accompany CH 105.  Two hours of laboratory per week. 

This course will provide an opportunity for students to gain additional laboratory experience similar to that found in an entry-level laboratory technician position. Students will learn to independently prepare solutions, reagents, equipment, and supplies for use in the teaching laboratories. Safety will be emphasized. Repeatable. Pass/Fail.

Laboratory to accompany CH 110.  Three hours of laboratory per week.

Laboratory to accompany CH 111.  Three hours of laboratory per week. 

Students investigate the role and influence of chemistry in modern society. Recent topics from various media will be discussed, and the chemistry basis of each will be covered. Critical evaluation of the science presented in the media will also be considered. For nonscience majors. Three lecture & two lab hours.

An experimental and hands-on approach to applied chemistry (as see in cooking). Cooking may be the oldest and most widespread application of chemistry and recipes may be the oldest practical result of chemical research. Students will perform edible experiments to illustrate some chemical principles, including extraction, denaturation, and phase changes. This is a hybrid course: cooking is done outside of class in the student's kitchen. Designed for non-science majors.

Laboratory to accompany CH125.  This laboratory is optional for those enrolled in CH125.

Laboratory to accompany CH303.  Four hours of laboratory per week. 

Laboratory to accompany CH 304.  Three hours of laboratory per week. 

An introductory study of the major metabolic pathways in the eukaryotic cell, including the structure and metabolism of amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids; enzyme kinetics; metabolic regulation; thermodynamics; and enzymatic mechanisms. Three lecture and three lab hours.

A more detailed study of some of the topics discussed in Principles of Biochemistry, including enzyme kinetics and mechanisms, lipid anabolism and catabolism, and regulation of metabolic pathways. Recent review and research articles will be utilized. Protein folding and binding studies will be investigated in the laboratory portion.

This course is designed to instruct students to carry out scientific research using current analytical procedures and techniques. Students will learn experimental design, literature review, and data analysis using a problem mutually agreeable to the student and faculty member. Students will present the final results in publication form.

This course is designed to instruct the student in how to prepare a research project. Students will learn literature review, experimental design, and developing a budget on a problem agreeable to both the student and the instructor. The end result will be a research proposal. The course is repeatable.

Students implement the experiment portion of a proposed research project that was developed in CH 482 Undergraduate Research: The Proposal. Students will utilize various laboratory techniques and equipment to perform the experimental project. Students present their results in the form of a poster suitable for presentation at a conference. Repeatable.
