CHE 126 Chemistry and Society

Designed for non-science majors. Introduces the basic concepts of chemistry and examines them in terms of real-world examples. Satisfies general distribution requirements. May be taken as a preparatory course for CHE 152 but is not applicable toward a chemistry major or minor. Lecture only.

Credit Hours: 3

Prerequisites

MAT 150 or equivalent.

CHE 150 Chemistry for Health Care Professions

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.

CHE 152 General Chemistry I

Pre- or corequisites: CHE 153L (with a grade of "C" or better), MAT 160; high school or college preparatory chemistry strongly recommended. Expands on the basic concepts of chemistry. Topics include chemical nomenclature, stoichiometric relationships, the chemistry of gases, atomic structure, chemical bonding and molecular geometry.

Credit Hours: 3

CHE 154 General Chemistry II

A continuation of General Chemistry I. Topics include solution chemistry, kinetics, equilibrium, thermodynamics, electrochemistry and nuclear chemistry.

Credit Hours: 3

Prerequisites

CHE 152, CHE 153L (both with a grade of "C" or better). Pre- or corequisites: CHE 155L (with a grade of "C" or better), MAT 170.

CHE 165 Chemistry and Art

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. This course has a required international travel component. Lecture only.

Credit Hours: 1-4

CHE 180 Environmental Chemistry

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, CHE 155L (both with a grade of "C" or better).
