Department Courses
C110 World of Materials with Laboratory 3 credits
This science course is intended for non-science majors. It discusses the chemical makeup, physical
properties, historical development, and economic impact of materials encountered in daily life.
Examples of the materials covered include: metals, ceramics, leather, plastics, concrete, paper, and a
variety of others. The course details a “biography” of each of these materials from its primary source
in the animal, vegetable, or mineral world, through the various transformations in its production and
fabrication into usable products, to its ultimate fate and impact on the environment when it has lived its
useful life. The course involves two lectures and one lab per week. Offered every semester.
C131 General Chemistry I 3 credits
This course covers the fundamental principles upon which the study of chemistry is based.
Stoichiometry, atomic structure, molecular structure, chemical bonding, behavior of gases, kinetic
molecular theory, properties of solutions, chemical reactivity and thermochemistry are included. Three
hours of lecture per week. Offered fall semester. Prerequisites: M149, or grade of C or better in M148
with concurrent enrollment in M149, or M151 placement; concurrent with C133.
C133 General Chemistry I Laboratory 1 credit
This laboratory is an inquiry-based approach to understanding the process of doing chemistry. Each
week, as a team member with a specific role working for a consulting company, the student receives a
letter from a “chemical client” requesting the solution to a chemical problem. It is the responsibility of
the team to design a solution, collect data, and report the results to the client in report form. Offered fall
semester. Prerequisite: concurrent with C131.
C142 General Chemistry II 3 credits
This course includes the study of the chemistry of redox reactions, chemical kinetics, chemical
equilibrium theory, electrochemistry, chemical dynamics, organic chemistry, phase behavior and
solution chemistry. Three hours of lecture per week. Offered spring semester. Prerequisites: minimum
grade of C in C131/133 and concurrent with C144.
C144 General Chemistry II Laboratory 1 credit
This laboratory is an inquiry-based approach to understanding the process of doing chemistry. Each
week, as a team member with a specific role working for a consulting company, the student receives a
letter from a “chemical client” requesting the solution to a chemical problem. It is the responsibility of
the team to design a solution, collect data, and report the results to the client in report form. Offered
spring semester. Prerequisites: minimum grade of C in C131/133 and concurrent with C142.
