Credits: 1
When Offered: Offered when interest is expressed and departmental resources permit.
Prerequisite or corequisite: 16 credits in chemistry or departmental permission.One-credit studies of special topics. May be repeated for degree credit with permission and if the topics are different. Possible topics include solid state chemistry, metabolic diseases, culinary chemistry, developments in physical chemistry, data handling, and reaction dynamics.
Topic for Winter, 2010:
CHEM 295: Special Topics: HyperChem Laboratory (1). Prerequisite: CHEM 260 OR 261. An introduction to computational chemistry methods using HyperChem software. The format is a four-hour laboratory each week with laboratory reports. Students consider a series of chemistry problems that can be investigated using various computational methods including molecular mechanics and extended Hückel, semi-empirical, and ab initio quantum mechanics. The course also emphasizes the use of graphical presentations of data such as isosurfaces as a way to understand chemical problems. DesjardinsStaff.
