A studio course designed for students who would like to learn about forensic chemistry and the basic science needed to understand it. Chemical concepts, on the level of an introductory chemistry course and their applications to forensic science are explored. Topics include the collection and analysis of physical evidence such as drugs, fibers, glass, fingerprints, and documents. Other topics may include arson investigation, DNA analysis, and how forensic science is portrayed in literature and media. This course may not be used in to satisfy requirements for the major or minor in Chemistry. Lecture, three hours; laboratory, three hours.
Students will investigate the fundamentals of chemistry in the context of real-world problems and will utilize systems of biological and environmental importance. Core concepts include stoichiometry, aqueous chemistry, gas laws, thermochemistry, atomic structure, molecular structure, and bonding. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. The associated laboratory illustrates the lecture topics, emphasizes quantitative measurements, and develops analytical techniques. Not open to students who have received credit for CHEM 120, 150, or 151.

Development of chemistry’s foundational concepts in greater detail than “General Chemistry” and with special emphasis on both theoretical understanding and analytical reasoning. Intended for students with strong preparation in chemistry and high motivation, the course focuses on the molecular basis of matter and its transformation as well as the role of chemistry in the broader scientific and societal enterprise. The laboratory portion of the course emphasizes the collection and interpretation of empirical data. Lecture, three hours; laboratory, three hours. Not open to students who have received credit for CHEM 120 or 150.

The first in a series of experiences designed to strengthen scientific communication skills. Students will observe and engage with a variety of presenters, such as invited speakers, faculty, and peers. Throughout the course participants will learn skills to assist in preparation and delivery of a scientific presentation to an audience. Junior majors will design a scientific presentation on a topic agreed upon with a faculty mentor.
