Chemical Research I provides a more in-depth coverage of laboratory research for sophomore or junior science majors. Research involves laboratory work with a project designed by the instructor and student in any chemical subdiscipline, including but not limited to organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, protein chemistry, analytical chemistry, food chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, forensic chemistry, or related discipline. This research course involves effective literature searching, design of experiments, laboratory techniques and methods, and instrumental analysis. Independent laboratory work and experimental design is expected. If enrolled in 3 or more hours credit of CHE 371, the student is expected to prepare a written report and oral presentation, summarizing the research results and/or the research literature. The student is expected to work 45-50 hours per semester for every 1 credit hour (2-3 hours per week). Prerequisites: At least Sophomore standing and approval of the research faculty mentor, Division Chair, and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Pre- or Corequiste: CHE 313 and CHE 315.
