| Course Descriptions |
| CIPCode |
| A course in chemistry designed to allow the science or engineering majors to become acquainted with the operation of a lab by |
| being allowed to practice in lab preparation and ongoing research. It includes learning to use the literature for researching topics of |
| interest and the use of the computer and appropriate software. The course is arranged to fit the schedules of the instructor and the |
| student. Includes only laboratory activities. Prerequisite: High school chemistry and the consent of the instructor. Fall Semester. |
| Lecture-1; Lab-1; Credits-1. |
| CIPCode |
| Concepts and hands on activities in natural science for elementary and middle school teachers with emphasis on chemistry; |
| structures and systems, energy transformations, changes over time, interaction and scientific world view. Topics include the |
| scientific method and a survey of atomic structure, inorganic and organic molecules, periodic tables, acids and bases, kinetic |
| theory of gases, energy and chemical changes. This course is designed for elementary education majors transferring to WTA&M |
| University. *TRAN; Core Curriculum (Natural Sciences); Lecture-2; Lab-3; Credits-3. |
| CIPCode |
| An introductory study of the scientific method, atomic and molecular structure, and chemical bonds, periodic relationships of |
| properties of elements, nuclear energy, properties of the states of matter, and an introduction to hydrocarbons. This course is |
| designed for students planning to enter senior college as non-science majors or allied health. *TRAN; Core Curriculum (Natural |
| Sciences); Lecture-3; Lab-3; Credits-4. |
| CIPCode |
| A study of the chemistry of the materials and energy that man produces and consumes, his means of production of food and its |
| attendant problems and the effect these have on the ecosystem. There is an emphasis on environmental aspects related to these |
| topics. This course is designed for students planning to enter senior college as non-science majors. *TRAN; Core Curriculum |
| (Natural Sciences); Lecture-3; Lab-3; Credits-4. |
| CIPCode |
| An in-dept study of the scientific method, stoichyometry, atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonds, periodic relationships of |
| properties of elements, properties of the states of matter, and properties of solutions. This course places a special emphasis on the |
| quantitative aspect of chemistry including the analysis of data and the nature of error. This course is designed for science majors |
| including pre-med, pre-pharmacy and pre-engineering. Prerequisite: High school chemistry is strongly recommended. *TRAN; Core |
| Curriculum (Natural Sciences); Lecture-3; Lab-3; Credits-4. |
| CIPCode |
| A detailed study of chemical rates, the factors governing equilibria, ionic equilibria, the acid-base phenomena and pH scale, |
| solubility product principle, and electrochemistry and the oxidation-reduction phenomena. This course is designed for science |
| majors including pre-med, pre-pharmacy, and pre-engineering. Prerequisite: CHEM 1411 or its equivalent with a grade of C or |
| better. *TRAN; Core Curriculum (Natural Sciences); Lecture-3; Lab-3; Credits-4. |
| CIPCode |
| CIPCode |
| A study of organic compounds by examining the constitutional configurational, and conformational properties of carbon-containing |
| molecules with special emphasis on the addition, substitution and elimination reactions of aliphatic compounds. This course is |
| designed for science majors including pre-med, pre-pharmacy, and chemistry majors. Prerequisite: CHEM 1411 and CHEM 1412 |
| with grades of C or better. *TRAN; Core Curriculum (Natural Sciences); Lecture-3; Lab-5; Credits-4. |
| CIPCode |
| A continuation of the study of organic molecules with special emphasis on the addition, substitution and elimination reactions of |
| aromatic compounds. Instrumental methods of analysis of molecules is also emphasized. This course is designed for science |
| majors including pre-med, pre-pharmacy, and chemistry majors. Prerequisite: CHEM2423 with a grade of C or better. *TRAN; Core |
| Curriculum (Natural Sciences); Lecture-3; Lab-5; Credits-4. |
