E. from an affiliated institution. It is tailored for students desiring a career in Chemical Engineering. The Chemistry Department has laboratories for instruction in the basic Chemistry courses, as well as research laboratories, stockrooms, seminar rooms, departmental reading rooms, and computer facilities. Advanced laboratories are designed to allow flexibility in selecting experiments and conducting special projects. Advanced students have opportunities for course credit through external internships and independent research projects under faculty supervision.
Instrumentation is very important in modern chemical practice.
All courses use Macintosh computers for data acquisition and analysis. I and II Laboratories, Inorganic Synthesis, Chemical Communication, Synthesis and Characterization, and Physical Biochemistry. A computer language is strongly recommended for those contemplating graduate studies. Certification by the ACS requires the approval of a candidate by the Chemistry Department. I Lab, Physical Chemistry II Lab, or Inorganic Synthesis.
