Polymer Chemistry
|
|
|
This course focuses on the synthesis, properties and applications of organic and inorganic polymers, dendrimers, and biopolymers. Topics will include the preparation, isolation, and characterization of polymeric materials. Conventional methods of polymerization used in industry, including free radical, living, and step growth will be examined in detail. Polymer applications will focus on the use of "smart materials" that possess useful conductive, optical, and self-healing properties.

Organometallic Chemistry
|
|
|
This advanced level course will deal with recent topics in organometallic chemistry, including such areas as organo-lithium and organo-magnesium reagents; stoichiometric organic transformations using metals; and metal-catalyzed reactions such as hydrogenation, cross coupling, C-H and C-C bond activation and polymerization.

Chemistry Work Term Project
|
|
|
A 12-week intensive laboratory research project for students in the co-operative education program supervised by a faculty member. The project topic for this course must be different from any laboratory research thesis project or directed studies topic and must be program-related. An oral presentation of results and work term report are required. This course is graded on a pass/fail basis.

Theory of Food Analysis
|
|
|
The application of sampling techniques, physical measurement, analytical chemistry, instrumental analysis and statistical methods to the quality control for food products. Certain aspects of food processing techniques will be discussed to provide a better understanding of the quality control procedures.

Alternative Energies
|
|
|
The focus of this course is on carbon-free renewable energies. Students will first examine the use of carbon-based fuels, and compare and contrast these fuels to carbon-free alternatives including solar, wind, water, hydrogen, and nuclear energies. The course will emphasize qualitative rather than quantitative concepts, and will include social, economic, and environmental impacts of these alternative energy sources.

The Business of Chemistry and Biology
|
|
|
A general and conceptual discussion of the biology and chemistry behind consumer and industrial products. Emphasis will be on the innovations that laid the foundation for these products and how they have impacted the economy and/or society. Also to be considered are the challenges related to commercializing innovation from both a consumer and competitive point of view. Case studies will be used to illustrate specific topics.
