BASIC COURSES
SYLLABI
10301: General Chemistry I
This is the first semester of a two-semester general chemistry course sequence. An in-depth introduction to the fundamental laws and techniques of chemistry for majors in science and engineering. Topics include: measurement; stoichiometry; the gaseous state; thermochemistry; atomic structure and chemical bonding; redox reactions; solids, liquids and intermolecular forces.
Prerequisite: Math 19500.
3 lecture, 2 lab, 2 workshop hours per week
4 credits
10401: General Chemistry II
This is the second semester of a two-semester general chemistry course sequence. An in-depth introduction to the fundamental laws and techniques of chemistry for majors in science and engineering. Topics include: chemical kinetics; chemical equilibrium; acids and bases; free energy, entropy, and the second law of thermodynamics; electrochemistry; advanced bonding concepts; metals and coordination chemistry; nuclear chemistry.
Prerequisite: C or higher in Chem 10301.
3 lecture, 3 lab, 1 workshop hours per week
4 credits
21000: Applied Chemistry for Biomedical Engineers
Introduces students to organic chemistry and biochemistry principles relevant to the study of the human body. Topics covered include hydrocarbons, functional groups, and structure and function of biomolecules (lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids), along with their interactions; and introduction to molecular genetics. Course is offered in the Fall semester only.
Prerequisite: Chem 10401.
