CHM 344: Analytical Methods for Problem Solving

Goal: To provide students with an understanding of the methods used to detect and quantify environmental analytes, particularly of water and soil systems. To provide students with an understanding of methods used to analyze materials.
Content: Students in this course will learn to evaluate environmental systems for potential contaminants and learn methods to detect and quantify such contaminants. Students will explore the interconnectedness of different environmental systems (and human interaction with those systems) to understand how contaminants can enter the environment. Students will also use laboratory techniques to study properties and compositions of materials.
Prerequisite(s): Completion of CHM 102 with a C or better.
