Advanced Chemical Research I provides in-depth coverage of laboratory research for junior or senior science majors. Research can be a continuation of the experiements designed in CHE 371-372 or a new research project in chemistry or related discipline. This research course involves effective literature searching, design of experiments, laboratory techniques and methods, and instrumental analysis. More independent laboratory work and experimental design is expected than in CHE 371-372, approaching the level of reasearch quality of a graduate student in chemistry or related discipline. If the student has enrolled in or obtained 3 or more hours of credit in CHE 371, CHE 372, and/or CHE 471, then a written report and oral presentation is expected, 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 Junior standing and approval of the research faculty mentor, Division Chair, and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Prerequisite: Grade of 'C' or better in CHE 371. Pre- or Corequiste: CHE 321.
