The chemistry and biochemistry of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. Credit not awarded for both CHEM 3521 and (CHEM 4511 or CHEM 3511).

Introductory course in biochemistry dealing with the chemistry and biochemistry of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. Credit not awarded for both CHEM 3511 and (CHEM 4511 or CHEM 3521).

Statistical thermodynamics, lattice statistics, molecular distribution and correlation functions, the theories of liquids and solutions, phase transitions, cluster theory, and measurement.

Independent research conducted under the guidance of a faculty member.

Students will gain hands-on experience with analytical chemistry tools, techniques, methods, and instrumentation. We will also focus on experimental design, and data interpretation such as calibration methods and statistical analysis.  Students will perform experiments on research-grade instrumentation and learn to make decisions based on their data.

A first course in chemistry, surveying its fundamental laws and theories, for some engineering majors. It can serve as the first course in a two course sequence where CHEM 1315 is the second course. Topics include atomic structure; bonding theory; stoichiometry; properties of solids, liquids and gases; chemical thermodynamics; electrochemistry; and kinetics. Credit not allowed for both CHEM 1310 and CHEM 1211K.

First course in a two-semester sequence covering the fundamental principles and applications of chemistry designed for science majors. Topics to be covered include composition of matter, stoichiometry, periodic relations, and nomenclature. Laboratory exercises supplement the lecture material. Credit not allowed for both CHEM 1310 and CHEM 1211K.
