These courses are also required for application to medical and dental school. Skills you will acquire in a chemistry degree: — Recognition of the role of chemistry in everyday life — Comprehensive knowledge of the structure and properties of matter, including the energy changes that accompany chemical reactions — The ability to predict the behaviour of matter and interpret a wide variety of phenomena — The skills to formulate and test scientific hypotheses — The ability to present your thoughts clearly and intelligently in written statements — Deduction of information from various sources — The capacity to critically analyze problems and think creatively selkirk.ca/programs — The ability to think logically — Respect for colleagues, willingness to think independently, and pride in presentation of work Tf you like chemistry, you may also like biochemistry, anthropology, archaeology, biology, medicine, food science and nutrition, forensics, lab technology. Admission Requirements Admission to the Associate of Science degree in Chemistry program requires the completion of Biology 12, Chemistry 11, English 12, Physics 11 with a grade of "C" or higher, and Pre-calculus 12 or Principles of Math 12 with a grade of “C+” or higher. Physics 12 is recommended, and Chemistry 12 is STRONGLY recommended. Program Courses - FIRST OR SECOND YEAR ARTS REQUIREMENT Students may take any first- or second-year UAS Arts elective (Humanities or Social Sciences) excluding your major discipline. BIOL 104 - BIOLOGY I A course designed for those students who require first year biology in their program of study or who wish to go on to further study in biology. The course includes cell biology, biochemistry, and an examination of the processes of life in the plant and animal body. A strong emphasis is placed on the development of critical thinking skills through problem solving, research design, and laboratory analysis. Pre-requisites: BIOL 12 or equivalent and CHEM 11 or equivalent. Students lacking the stated prerequisites may enrol in the course with written permission of the Schoo! Chair; however, they should be aware that they will be required to do additional work. This course is available via Distance Education, but requires attendance at weekly on-site labs. BIOL 106 - BIOLOGY II Along with BIOL 104 (Biology I), this course provides an overview of the study of living things. Biology 106 presents topics in population, community and ecosystem ecology, and classical and molecular genetics. Evolution provides a unifying theme for the course. A strong emphasis is placed on the development of critical thinking skills through problem solving, case studies and laboratory investigation. Pre-requisites: BIOL 104 with a grade of "C" or better or written permission of the Instructor and School Chair. CHEMISTRY selkirk.ca/chemistry BIOL 206 - INTRODUCTORY BIOCHEMISTRY This course provides an introduction to biochemistry including protein structure and function, and representative catabolic and anabolic pathways. Topics covered include water, enzyme kinetics and enzyme structure and function. Experimental techniques used in biochemistry and molecular biology are also introduced. Pre-requisites: Biology 104 and 106 with a grade of "C" or better, or written permission of the Instructor and School Chair. NOTE: Students are advised to take CHEM 212 as a prerequisite and CHEM 273 concurrently with BIOL 206. CHEM 125 - FOUNDATIONS OF CHEMISTRY II CHEM 125: Fundamentals of Chemistry II is the continuation for either CHEM 110 or CHEM 122. The course consists of two major units: physical chemistry and organic chemistry. The study of physical chemistry begins with an investigation of reaction rates (kinetics), followed by the principles of equilibria applied to pure substances and aqueous solutions, and an introduction to the laws of thermodynamics. The second major unit is a survey of the field of organic chemistry; topics include the physical and chemical properties of alkanes and alkenes, stereochemistry, and addition, substitution, and elimination reactions. The laboratory work involves the measurement of physical and chemical properties as well as chemical syntheses. Pre-requisites: CHEM 770 or CHEM 122 with a grade of "C" or better, or written permission of the Instructor and School Chair. CHEM 212 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY | CHEM 212: Organic Chemistry I, explores the relationship between the structures of carbon- containing molecules and their physical and chemical properties. Some topics from first-year general chemistry are reviewed briefly: alkanes, stereochemistry, alkenes, and nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions of alkyl halides. The correlation between structure and acidity is investigated, and the chemistry of alkynes and alcohols is examined. Structure-determination techniques, including IR and NMR, are explored. The laboratory work for this course provides practical experiences with separation/purification techniques, molecular synthesis, and qualitative analytical methods applied to organic compounds. Pre-requisites: CHEM 125 with a grade of "C" or better, or written permission of the instructor and Schoo! Chair. CHEM 213 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II CHEM 213: Organic Chemistry IL is a continuation of CHEM 212. The survey of organic families is continued with a study of aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acid derivatives, aromatics and amines. The chemistry Selkirk College Academic Calendar 2018-19 37
