CHEM 1040 Applied Chemistry for Technology Based Business (3)

Students will be taught basic principles in chemistry and apply that knowledge by analyzing chemical products used in industry and everyday life. They will be required to practice critical thinking through the analysis of business structures and how those organizations utilize chemical applications for product development. GCP Coding: (PNW) (CRI).

CHEM 1050 Concepts in Chemistry (3)

Concepts in Chemistry explores fundamental concepts within chemistry and will discuss issues that have a chemical basis. Included within the course are topics such as the scientific method, scientific measurements, laws of conservation, chemical bonding, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, acid-based chemistry, oxidation-reduction reactions, and food chemistry. The class will demonstrate how chemistry principles can be used to understand processes encountered in everyday life and the environment around us. GCP Coding: (PNW) (CRI).

CHEM 1060 Chemistry of Cooking (3)

This course offers students the opportunity to learn about chemistry through the kitchen. We will cover topics such as: what molecules and reactions are integral to cooking processes? How do our bodies digest and use macromolecules from our food? How can we alter the outcome of recipes by changing ingredients and cooking conditions? This course is designed for students of any major - no formal science background is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to try new things. An additional course fee is required. GCP Coding: (PNW) (CRI).
