Understand inter- and intramolecular interactions in bulk systems, and use those to predict and observe local and extended network structures in solids, liquids, and glasses. 2. Use structural information to predict properties of bulk systems, with emerging properties from atomic to nano to bulk systems. 3. Predict and determine optical, electronic and magnetic properties of materials, and learn techniques to characterize those properties as they relate to structure. 4. Conceptualize relationships between natural, anthropogenic, and biological materials. 5. Apply fundamental chemistry concepts to materials science. Prerequisites: CHEM 2320 and CHEM 2325 and CHEM 3000 and CHEM 3005 (All grade C or higher). SP (odd).

CHEM 4610. Nutritional Biochemistry. 3 Hours.

A course in advanced biochemistry using nutrition as a model. The course will focus on human nutrition and metabolism. The functional and regulatory roles of macronutrients and micronutrients will be stressed. Additional components of the course will emphasize how nutrition science relates to nutrition information available to the lay public and drives nutrition policy. Students will be guided through an exploration of recent scientific literature in the areas of biochemistry and nutrition, and ways in which one informs the other. Current challenges in the field of nutrition will be related to the lecture material. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Understand the basic concepts of biochemistry-bonds between molecules, digestion and absorption, actions of enzymes, protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism, actions of hormones, and regulation of gene expression. 2. Understand and explain the digestion, absorption, and metabolism of the energy providing nutrients -- carbohydrate, lipid and protein. 3. Understand and explain the interrelationship of the energy providing nutrients (carbohydrate, lipids, and fat) in the various metabolic pathways and their roles in supporting disease prevention. 4. Understand and explain the role of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) in disease prevention. Prerequisites: CHEM 3520 (Grade C or higher). FA (odd).

CHEM 4800R. Independent Research. 1-3 Hours.

An independent research course that allows the students to explore science through the scientific method, and allows close interaction between the student and faculty member to address scientific problems through experiment design and execution. Projects are at the discretion of the faculty member, in line with the student's interests in the various scientific areas. Repeatable up to 6 credits subject to graduation and program restrictions. Variable credit: 1-3. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Use the scientific method to develop hypotheses, design experiments, and draw conclusions from results. 2. Design and modify experiments during the progress of a research project. 3. Interpret results from experiments, modify the hypothesis. 4. Draw conclusions according to research goals. 5. Perform research independently, and interact with other students and faculty that are engaged in the project. 6. Utilize outside resources (scientific databases, literature, etc) to interpret results and compare to existing and previous work in the field of your research project. Prerequisites: CHEM 2320 and CHEM 2325 (all Grade C or higher); and ENGL 2010 or ENGL 2010A; and Instructor permission. FA,SP, SU.

CHEM 4890R. Chemistry Internship. 1-3 Hours.

For students who are granted and accept an internship with an approved employer, or a governmental, non-profit, or private agency, that provides an extensive learning experience in the field of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Students must be supervised by an agency representative and a faculty advisor. Written contracts of expectations and terms and permission of Chemistry and Biochemistry Department Chair are required. Repeatable up to 6 credits subject to graduation and program restrictions. Variable credit: 1.0 - 3.0. **Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)** At the successful conclusion of this course students will: 1. Acquire work experience and an insight as to the type of career possible by observing a qualified provider. 2. Employ proficient writing skills by producing a summary paper at the conclusion of the internship. 3. Demonstrate collaborative team skills while participating in the internship experience. Prerequisites: Instructor Permission. FA, SP, SU.

CHEM 4910. Chemistry Senior Seminar. 1 Hour.

A seminar course where students will share their research results or literature searches with fellow students and faculty in written and oral formats. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Evaluate current research topics in chemistry and biochemistry literature by using scientific databases. 2. Consider and evaluate scientific papers and presentations. 3. Demonstrate effective communication of current topics in chemistry/biochemistry to a scientific audience in both written and oral forms. 4. Prepare a comprehensive written report that effectively summarize a chosen scientific topic related to chemistry/biochemistry areas using the vast literature and compiled data. Prerequisites: CHEM 2320 and CHEM 2325 (all Grade C or higher); and ENGL 2010 (Grade C or higher); Advanced Standing; and Instructor Permission. SP.
