This course provides instruction in thermochemistry and examines models and systems used to study chemical reactions under extreme thermodynamic conditions (e.g., pressure). Students will review and develop an understanding of the changes in equilibrium and reaction kinetics that occur under non-standard and non-ideal conditions.
3
This course explores the basic principles of synthetic methodology, retrosynthesis, and the tactics and strategies for the total synthesis of complex organic molecules.
3
This course explores advanced applications of equilibrium, instrumental techniques, and analytical method development. Topics include the statistical treatment of data, signal-to-noise theory and optimization of S/N ratio, separations, and instrumental sensitivity and detection limits.
3
Topics include research ethics and laboratory conduct, literature searches, proposal writing, and scientific communication. Students learn about current research ongoing at Lewis and begin writing a proposal for their thesis research.
