CHE 124 Chemistry and Crime

Designed for non-science majors. Introduces the basic concepts of chemistry and examines them in terms of forensic science true crime case studies. Satisfies general education requirements. Requires proficiency in mathematics skills developed in MAT 150. This course does not count as credit toward the Forensic Science major.
Credit Hours: 4

CHE 126 Chemistry and Society

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.

CHE 127 Chemistry of Cooking

This course is designed to give students the ability to link the concepts of chemistry to growing, cooking, preparing, or creating foods and beverages. Students will be able to describe the reactions that occur in the production or cooking of everyday foods. Students will also investigate more recent science-based techniques used in molecular gastronomy. The content covered in this course will cover an array of disciplines that are all rooted in the natural sciences, and several of the concepts will be supplemented with interactive learning. Proficiency in math skills developed in MAT 150 (or above) is strongly recommended. Lecture only.
Credit Hours: 4

CHE 128 Introductory Chemistry

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. Lecture only.

Credit Hours: 2-4

CHE 165A Chemistry and Art: Travel

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

CHE 180 Environmental Chemistry
