Demonstrate command of facts, theories, and concepts of chemistry, and use this knowledge
to solve problems.
Function effectively in a laboratory setting, including the ability to: (a) carry
out an experiment correctly with a minimal amount of help from the instructor, (b)
work safely with chemicals, and (c) use computers and instrumentation effectively.
Learn independently: Integrate and synthesize conceptual knowledge within courses,
between courses, and across disciplines.
Communicate effectively orally and in writing.
Students achieve proficiency in chemical information literacy. Students use web-based
resources and databases to gather information. Students discern the value of sources
and discriminate fact from opinion. Students will also be able to incorporate information
from library sources into new experiments of their own design.
Work as a team member
Appreciate science in a larger context, including: (a) the impact and responsibilities
of science as it relates to society and (b) the concepts of environmental sustainability.
Post-Graduate Preparation: Students will be prepared to compete for and succeed in
