Currently Teaching

CHEM-176
1 Credits
A continuation of Advanced General Chemistry I Lab, this course complements CHEM-172 lecture material through experimentation. Emphasis is placed on laboratory techniques, analysis of results, and formal scientific reporting. Topics include chemical kinetics, pH indicators and buffers, measurement of pH, and extraction of copper from copper wire. Special topics to be included.
CHEM-493
1 - 3 Credits
This course is a faculty-directed student project or research in chemistry that could be considered of an original nature.
CHEM-495
1 - 3 Credits
This course is a faculty-directed student project or research involving laboratory work, computer modeling, or theoretical calculations that could be considered of an original nature. The level of study is appropriate for students in their final two years of study.
CHEM-500
0 Credits
The experiential learning (EL) requirement may be fulfilled through a variety of methods including co-op, undergraduate research, summer research experiences, study abroad relevant to the major, designated EL courses, etc. All experiences must be approved by the Department Head or Associate Department Head of SCMS.
CHMB-493
1 - 3 Credits
