Courses Not Credited Toward a Chemistry Degree
CHEM 111 Introductory Chemistry Laboratory (1-2-1), fall. Introduces
the student to laboratory measurement and observation. Topics
are chosen to coordinate with the sequence of topics discussed in accompanying
lecture. Emphasis is given to quantitative measurements using
the balance, burettes, pipettes, volumetric flasks, and pH meter. Prerequisite:
CHEM 113 or concurrent enrollment.
CHEM 112 Introductory Organic and Biological Chemistry
Laboratory (1-2-1) spring. Investigates the properties of hydrocarbons
and the chief functional groups of organic compounds. Considers the organic
chemistry of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Prerequisites:
CHEM 111 and 113.
CHEM 113 Introductory Chemistry Lecture (3-0-3), fall. Describes
fundamental concepts of chemistry and applies these concepts to an understanding
of chemical processes in those areas of interest to students
of health sciences such as agriculture, home economics, and nursing.
Emphasis is given to inorganic chemistry, including the topics of atomic
structure, periodicity, chemical bonds, chemical reactions, gas laws, solutions,
acids and bases, and electrolytes. Credited without CHEM 111.
No prerequisite.
CHEM 114 Introductory Organic and Biological Chemistry Lecture
(3-0-3), spring. Considers the chemistry of carbon in the form of organic
compounds. Introduces hydrocarbons and those functional groups of importance
to living systems. Deals with the biochemical role of carbohydrates,
lipids and proteins. Prerequisite: CHEM 113.
CHEM 203 General Science for Elementary Teachers (3-0-3) fall,
spring. Presents the fundamental principles of chemistry, physics, geology,
astronomy, meteorology, and biology on a practical basis for elementary
teachers. The course includes experiments and demonstrations that
are pertinent to the teaching of science at the elementary level.
CHEM 243 Elementary Biochemistry and Nutrition (3-4-4), spring. A
more extensive coverage of the chemistry and metabolic pathways of
biologically important molecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and
nucleic acids). Also includes the biochemistry of nutrients in diet, optimum
health, prevention of disease and behavior. Prerequisite: CHEM
114.Courses for Fulfilling General Education Requirements
in Science
CHEM 101 Consumer Chemistry (3-0-3), fall. A study of how
chemistry and chemical technology contribute to the ways we live, work,
and influence the economy and the environment. Emphasis is placed on
the relationships between science, the consumer and citizen, society, and
the environment, with the aim of equipping the student for more informed
and responsible decisions as a voter, consumer, and citizen.
Topics include the structure of matter and energy, changes which matter
undergoes, energy sources and problems, radioactivity, nuclear medicine
and nuclear power, organic and inorganic materials, the chemistry of life
(biochemistry), food and nutrition, food additives, cooking, air and water
pollution, plastics, pesticides and fertilizers, drugs and medicines, birth
control, cosmetics and hygiene, household cleaning and stain removal,
and others.
CHEM 102 Environmental Chemistry and Health (3-0-3), spring. Introduces
some chemical principles, radioactivity, biological effects of
radiation, fossil fuels, air pollution, water and water pollution, substances
of life, food and nutrition, biological effects of pesticides and food additives,
use and abuse of drugs, chemical contraceptives, carcinogens,
mutagens, and poisons. Topics are especially suited for students majoring
in physical education, community health, recreation, psychology, communication
disorders, sociology, social work, general education, and
agricultural business. No prerequisite.
CHEM 103 Chemistry: Then and Now (3-0-3), on demand. Covers
many of the important and interesting aspects of chemistry in both ancient
and modem times. Certain substances and chemical processes that
are found in the Bible and in the arts of ancient civilizations are
described in light of modern chemical knowledge. This course is intended
to benefit students majoring in Bible, English, Communications,
foreign languages, history, political science, music, and general education.
No prerequisite.
CHEM 105 Chemistry and Contemporary Social Problems (3-0-3),
spring. Topics relate to the interest of students majoring in art, general
business, marketing, finance, management, industrial education, and
general education. Timely subjects including the following are discussed
in terms of the impact of each upon individuals and society: (1) drugs
and pharmaceuticals, (2) air and water pollution, (3) energy sources and
natural resource depletion, (4) food and body chemistry, and (5) pesticides
and chemical toxicology. No prerequisite.
