This 5 credit course is an introduction to the concepts of chemistry for science and engineering students, health professions students, and as a science course for students of the humanities and social sciences. Properties of chemical systems are discussed from a macroscopic and molecular perspective with examples developed from a wide range of disciplines. The topics covered include stoichiometry, atoms and molecules, properties of gases, thermochemistry, chemical equilibrium, acids and bases, solubility equilibria, and oxidation-reduction reactions. In addition to lectures, there is a weekly 75 min. workshop. Also, a 50 min. lab lecture and a 3-hour laboratory meet on alternate weeks. You must also register for the lab lecture and corresponding laboratory (Lab Lecture A students also sign up for a Lab A section)prior to the start of the semester. Workshops are offered at multiple times during the week and assigned during the first week of classes. Lab fee: $125/billed. Uses T/Th 8-9:30am common exam time.

CHM 137 is designed to give engineering students a conceptual foundation in the principles of chemistry that are relevant to solving engineering problems. Important topics include the nature of chemical compounds; stoichiometry, properties of gases; the Periodic Table; electrons and atoms; chemical bonding and applications to materials; thermodynamics and energy; rates of chemical reactions; chemical equilibrium; electrochemistry. Each unit will be discussed in the context of applications to relevant engineering problems, i.e., using chemical knowledge to design a material or process that solves an important problem. In addition to lectures there are weekly 75 min. workshops. Also, a 75 min lab lecture and 3-hour laboratory will be held every other week. You must register for the 137 lecture, workshop, lab lecture and corresponding laboratory (Lab A Lecture students need to also sign up for a Laboratory A section). Lab fee: $120/billed. Uses T/Th 8-9:30am common exam time.

CHM 171 / 172 is a one year exploration of the basic observations, concepts and practice of organic chemistry, with a focus on the fundamental relationships among molecular structure and chemical reactivity. The exploration will require that students grapple in depth issues: defining questions, evaluating evidence, weighing arguments, reflecting on epistemological issues, constructing new experiments, etc. The study of organic chemistry will be carefully integrated with a review of the key concepts from general chemistry. Freshman Organic is designed for first year students with good preparation in chemistry (e.g., two years of general chemistry and Advanced Placement score 4 or 5). This sequence fast tracks students to more advanced chemistry courses and the fulfillment of degree requirements in other disciplines. In addition to lectures, there is a weekly workshop. Coregistration in CHM 173 (laboratory and lab/lecture) is required. Lab fee: $125 (billed). (Fall). Uses T/Th 8-9:30am common exam time.

BUILDING: CSB | ROOM: 209

PREREQUISITES: Two years of general chemistry and Advanced Placement score 4 or 5, or equivalent preparation.

An introduction to organic chemistry that focuses on chemical bonding, structure and stereochemistry, reactions and reaction mechanisms of organic compounds. There are three 50 minute lectures and one workshop per week. The workshop is an informal, interactive two-hour session in which groups of eight students work on specially designed problems under the guidance of a trained leader. The purpose of the workshop is to provide a mechanism for students to work actively with the material and with each other. Coregistration in the one credit lab CHM 207 is required (lab fee $120 - billed). (Fall). This course uses the Tues/Thurs 8:00 - 9:30 am Common Exam time.

Two 75 minute lectures per week, 7 workshops, 6 problem sets, three midterm examinations and a final examination. Cross listed with CHM 411. (Fall).

BUILDING: HUTCH | ROOM: 473

PREREQUISITES: Organic chemistry

This course is an introduction to quantum mechanics with applications to spectroscopy and to atomic and molecular structure. There are weekly problem sets. Students also participate in workshops each week. Cross listed with CHM 441. (Fall). This course uses the Tues/Thurs 8:00 - 9:30 am Common Exam time.

BUILDING: DEWEY | ROOM: 2162

PREREQUISITES: Physics 113-114 or 121-122 and Math 163 or 165.

Individual study of advanced topics arranged by students. The student and instructor determine what course title is most appropriate. The title, limited to 28 spaces, is listed on the Independent Studies Form. This title will appear on the transcript as the official title of the course. If students do not submit a title, the course title will be determined by the number of the course as listed above. Faculty rules restrict students to one four-credit Independent Studies course per semester. Special application required.
