When you take aspirin
or ibuprofen, do you ever wonder what the structure of this ‘miracle drug’ really
looks like? Are you curious to learn how the molecule actually works in the
body? How were many of these drugs discovered and produced for the use of
modern medicine? What about Amoxicillin, Claritin™, Viagra™, or illicit drugs?
This course, intended for non-science majors will explore biologically active
molecules and their modes of action (naturally occurring and synthetic) in an
effort to stress the importance of chemistry in biology and medicine. As a
necessity, we will first study chemical bonding and molecular architecture,
then use this knowledge to study medicinally important substances on a
molecular level. Integral laboratory experiments will provide supplementary
insight into chemical reactivity, isolation and characterization of some of these
substances. Class size: 18

Central
concepts in this second part of the course are energy transfer, spontaneity, and
change (thermochemistry, chemical equilibrium, and kinetics.) The laboratory
stresses basic laboratory techniques and quantitative applications. Basic
skills in mathematics and facility with algebra are required. Concurrent
enrollment in calculus is recommended for students who intend to concentrate in
chemistry. Prerequisite: Chemistry 141,
or its equivalent. Class size: 20

Students
study the structure and reactions of specific types of organic compounds and develop
interrelationships that provide an integrated understanding of organic
chemistry. The course emphasizes general principles and reaction mechanisms,
but students are also expected to accumulate and utilize factual material. The
laboratory is coordinated with classroom topics and should provide direct
experience with many reactions and concepts. The laboratory is also intended to
develop familiarity with experiment design, experimental techniques, and
instrumental methods such as chromatography and spectroscopy. Prerequisits:

An
introduction to the chemistry of the elements, the class places emphasis on the
classification of the properties and reactivity of the elements by chemical periodicity,
structure, and bonding. Topics in modern inorganic chemistry to be covered
include: molecular orbital and spectroscopic applications of symmetry and group
theory, coordination chemistry of the transition metals, and organometallic
reactions and mechanisms. Prerequisites:
Chemistry 201-202. Co-requisites: CHEM 360, or permission of instructor. Class

Air and moisture sensitive techniques will be explored. We will also cover
many analytical, physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry techniques and
applications, as necessary. Weekly assignments, tests, presentations, and lab
reports will be the basis for evaluation for the course. Class size: 12

4 credits A central goal of nanoscience and technology is to make useful materials
and devices through the synthesis and patterning of nanoscale building
blocks. In this course we will study the synthetic methods used to make
metallic and semiconducting nanocrystals, as well as polymeric and bio-inspired
nanomaterials. We will also explore techniques that have been developed
to organize and integrate these building blocks into functional architectures
via self-assembly, templating, and lithography.
This seminar style course will draw extensively on recent literature in
chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering journals. Class size: 12
