Department of Chemistry, Notre Dame of Maryland University, Baltimore, MD.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

PCHEM:\u00a0<\/em><\/span>Part I:<\/strong> physicochemical properties of matter<\/span> in the gaseous, liquid, and solid states; kinetics and thermodynamics<\/span> of chemical reactions; behavior of solutions; phase equilibria; electrochemistry. Simulation of thermodynamic systems using Python. <\/span>Part II:<\/strong> introductory-level quantum mechanics (molecular models and their mathematical description<\/span>); computational chemistry; atomic and molecular structure; and spectroscopy<\/span>.\u00a0 POGIL-style laboratories.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

WorldCHEM: <\/em>recognize and apply basic concepts in chemistry to understand the world around you. One of the core topics of this course is pollution by plastics<\/span>, students learn how to distinguish the different types of plastics and their chemical structures, and learn about plastics recycling; with this knowledge students can make decisions on their lifestyle to help the improvement of the environment. Another main focus is processed food components<\/span>; students learn chemistry terminology and structures of i.e. preservatives so they can understand the food labels. These knowledge will help them make decisions in what foods will be healthier for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Survey GOBCHEM: e<\/em>mphasizes the fundamental principles that form the basis of general inorganic, organic and biochemistry that are pertinent to the health sciences. Properties and reactivity of elements and compounds, use of radioactive elements in medicine<\/span>, chemical bonding and structure, chemical equations and calculations, acids\/bases and solutions, behavior of gases, identification and reactions of fundamental groups, system of nomenclature and stereochemistry.<\/span> Course also investigates the properties and reactions of important compounds such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and some pharmaceuticals. Synthesis of proteins, RNA and DNA.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

GCHEM Lab: <\/em>this laboratory course stresses the\u00a0determination of chemical and physical properties, qualitative chemical analysis, acid-base reactions, and inorganic synthesis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Department of Chemistry, Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

PCHEM: <\/em>the course is designed to develop an understanding of the fundamental principles\u00a0of thermodynamics, thermochemistry and kinetics; and the ability to apply these principles broadly\u00a0and effectively. This course will help the student differentiate between processes driven by thermodynamics and processes driven by kinetics, and answer questions like why diamonds exist\u00a0and why they do not become graphite. Also, the student will realize how scientific work begins\u00a0by representing nature with simple models; and then increasing the complexity of those models to\u00a0a) obtain more information about the system of study and b) to predict the system’s behavior.<\/p>\n

GCHEM: <\/em>this course is an introduction to the principles and practice of chemistry, with\u00a0in-depth treatment of chemical reactions, atomic structure and periodicity, chemical bonding, chemical equilibrium, and states of the matter. The laboratory involves qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemical species and reactions; and the use of chemical compounds and materials for\u00a0specific purposes.<\/p>\n

GCHEM II: <\/em>this course is an introduction to the principles and practice of chemistry, with in-depth\u00a0treatment of thermodynamics, solutions, properties of solutions, kinetics, acid-base chemistry, equilibria in\u00a0aqueous solution, electrochemistry, and radioisotopes.<\/p>\n

Coding for Chemist: <\/em>this course teaches the basics of computer programming using MATLAB and Python to those with no previous experience and how to use those languages to solve basic chemistry problems.<\/span><\/p>\n
