use of protective equipment and fire extinguishers, interpretation of Material Safety Data Sheets and safety label codes, and appropriate emergency responses (including CPR training). Prerequisites: CHEM 2410 or CHEM 3411 ( C or better), or permission of instructor.

CHEM 3950 Selected Topics (V)
Concepts/topics in special areas of chemistry. May be repeated for credit. Prerequisites: Permission of the instructor.

CHEM 4210 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry (3-0-3)
A study of advanced topics in inorganic chemistry including molecular orbital theory, coordination chemistry, descriptive chemistry of the elements, atomic structure and nuclear chemistry. Prerequisites: CHEM 1212 (C or better; CHEM 3412 recommended).

CHEM 4551 Biochemistry I: Physical Biochemistry (3-3-4)
The physical chemistry of macromolecules. Fundamental chemical principles will be used to provide a comprehensive understanding of amino acids, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Laboratory experiments will focus on physical techniques used to isolate these molecules and study their structure and function. Prerequisites: CHEM 1212 and 3412; MATH 2011 or 1220 (C or better in each).

CHEM 4552 Biochemistry II: Bioenergetics and Metabolism (3-0-3)
A study of the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, nucleotides, and related compounds; the regulation and energetic of the metabolic pathways; and oxidative and photophosphorylation. Prerequisites: CHEM 4551 ( C or better) or permission of the instructor.

CHEM 4810 Environmental Chemistry (3-3-4)
An examination of the complex interplay of chemical processes in air, water and soil, and how chemical principles are applied to analysis and remediation of environmental pollution. Laboratory Experiments, field trips, guest speakers, and completion and presentation of a laboratory project provide practical experience and current information on developments in environmental technology. Prerequisites: CHEM 2810, 3412; 4551 or 3722 ( C or better).

CHEM 4830 Principles of Instrument Design (1-3-2)
A study of the basic components of instruments for optical spectroscopy including light sources, monochromators, sample holders, detection devices, signal transducers, signal amplifiers, and computer interface electronics and how these components are used together in modern instrument design. Prerequisites: CHEM 2810 ( C or better).

CHEM 4840 Instrumental Analysis (3-3-4)
Theories and applications of instrumental methods of analysis. Spectroscopic techniques (including atomic absorption, ultraviolet/visible, infrared, and fluorescence spectroscopy), separations and electrochemistry will be discussed. Prerequisites: CHEM 2810, CHEM 3412 ( C or better in each).
