This course is designed for non-science majors to explore scientific principles and chemistry topics using real-world examples from everyday life and current events. The ultimate goal of this course is to raise students' awareness of, and literacy in, science and chemistry. Student learning will be accomplished through traditional instruction, analyses of scientific data, as well as critical evaluation of differing viewpoints from scientific experts. Requires proficiency in mathematics skills developed in MAT 150. Lecture only.
Credit Hours: 4
This course deals with the fundamental principles of chemical science and basic calculations in science. Topics include scientific measurement, states of matter, solution chemistry, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, gas laws, atomic theory, and bonding theory. This course is intended for science majors as preparation for taking
CHE 150/152/153L. Lecture only.
Credit Hours: 4
Prerequisites
College of Natural Health and Sciences majors only.
Investigates the fundamental principles of general chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry. Topics include chemical bonding, nomenclature, gases, states of matter, solutions, acid and base theory, equilibrium and oxidation-reduction, organic functional groups, stereochemistry, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Lecture only.
Credit Hours: 4
Prerequisites
MAT 150 or equivalent
Expands on the basic concepts of chemistry. Topics include chemical nomenclature, stoichiometric relationships, the chemistry of gases, atomic structure, chemical bonding and molecular geometry.
Spartan Studies:
NSD with CHE 153L
Credit Hours: 3
Prerequisites
MAT 160 or equivalent. Students failing to meet the
MAT 160 prerequisite are strongly recommended to take
CHE 128 concurrently with
MAT 160. Pre- or corequisite:
CHE 153L (with a grade of "C" or better). High school or college preparatory chemistry strongly recommended.
Laboratory experiments supplement lecture material presented in CHE 152.
Credit Hours: 1
Prerequisites
Pre- or corequisite:
CHE 152 (with a grade of "C" or better).
A continuation of General Chemistry I. Topics include solution chemistry, kinetics, equilibrium, thermodynamics, electrochemistry and nuclear chemistry.
Credit Hours: 3
Prerequisites
CHE 152 and
CHE 153L (both with a grade of "C" or better). Pre- or corequisites:
CHE 155L (with a grade of "C" or better) and
MAT 170.
Laboratory experiments supplement lecture material presented in CHE 154.
Credit Hours: 1
Prerequisites
CHE 152 and
CHE 153L (both with a grade of "C" or better). Pre- or corequisite:
CHE 154 (with a grade of "C" or better).
A science course designed to teach concepts of chemistry using works of art as the context. The course may include the study of materials used in creation of objects of art, art preservation, art restoration, forgery detection and nondestructive testing. The course will also explore the effect of environmental pollution, primarily air, on the stability and longevity of objects of art. The influence of materials on aesthetics will also be included. Lecture only.
Credit Hours: 2-4
Required travel portion for
CHE 165. As they travel through the country of Italy, students will be able to experience works of art while making important connections to chemistry concepts discussed in lecture. These topics include: glass and tile mosaics; paintings on canvas and wood; frescos; marble and metal sculptures; protection, restoration, and preservation of art; and the chemistry of color and pigments.
Credit Hours: 2
Provides an introduction to the chemistry of the processes involved in air, water and soil pollution, and covers techniques and methods used by state and federal regulatory agencies. Does not apply toward a major or a minor in chemistry. Lecture only.
Credit Hours: 3
Prerequisites
CHE 154 and
CHE 155L (both with a grade of "C" or better)
