CHEM 4701 - Integrated Lab I

(2) Credit Hours
Prerequisite: CHEM 3000K  . BCHM 3100K 
Research-oriented course, which applies quantitative and qualitative methods to determine green chemistry and biochemically significant molecules and systems. Emphasis will be placed on isolation and analysis techniques and may include Ultraviolet-Visible, Infrared and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, Gas chromatography, Mass spectrometry, High Performance Liquid Chromatography and fast reaction (stopped-flow) kinetics. Upon completion of this course, students will: 1) use instrumentation at an appropriate level of sophistication to analyze and answer substance life-cycle questions of green chemical and biochemical interest, 2) effectively retrieve and critically evaluate articles from peer-reviewed technical journals, 3) write well-organized, concise laboratory reports in a scientifically appropriate style; communicate written details of reports to peers in a clear and concise manner, 4) understand and apply the aspects of modern chemical safety in each of the following: general safety awareness, correct disposal techniques, minimizing hazards in the laboratory, use of materials safety data sheets (MSDS), 5) apply critical thinking skills and their understanding of all chemistry sub disciplines to design and execute experiments that incorporate the principles of green chemistry; analyze data and draw appropriate conclusions, 6) demonstrate sound ethical principles when conducting laboratory work, and 7) interact productively with their peers and work effectively as part of a team pursuing a common goal.
