(CHE) Chemistry
Chemical Science and the
Environment
This course begins with a survey of some of the principles
of chemistry. These principles are then applied to practical
topics such as air and water pollution, global warming,
resource and energy options. This course is intended for
non-science majors interested in chemistry and how it
relates to the environment.
Upon successful completion of this course, students
should be able to:
• Demonstrate a number of non-mathematical chemical
principles such as simplified atomic structure, chemical
bonding and naming of compounds
• Describe the major types, causes, and possible solutions
of air and water pollution
• Discuss the future problems and solutions of the world's
energy problems
• Relate the basic chemical principles to other
environmental and personal chemistry related issues

CHE 105
Technical Chemistry
This course is intended primarily for students who are in
the various technology programs. It is designed to provide
an understanding of basic chemical principles that will
allow the students to take their places as scientifically
literate members of society and to work in their various
occupations (such as plant operators in the petrochemical,
food, or pharmaceutical industries, as well as public safety
officers who must respond to incidents involving toxic and
hazardous materials). The course will not involve detailed
chemical calculations or advanced theoretical topics.
Upon successful completion of this course, students
should be able to:
• Explain how the elements are used to form compounds
• Discuss the fields of Organic & Inorganic Chemistry
• Describe the chemistry of fire and explain the process of
extinguishment
