Students explore the fundamentals of physical chemistry and organic chemistry, learning to predict and control chemical reactions important for biological and industrial processes. Topics include chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, equilibrium calculations, organic structure, and organic reactivity...

This course constitutes the second half of a first year course in general college chemistry. Topics include: solutions, energetics, thermo-dynamics, chemical kinetics, structure, and reactivity. Students may obtain credit for only one of CHEM 1220 or 1221. These courses have the same learning...

Fostering a culture of safety and excellence in the laboratory depends on the implementation of WorkSafe BC guidelines and OECD Good Laboratory Practices, as well as the disposal of waste material in accordance with Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) and provincial regulations...

Advanced analytical tasks in scientific and industrial setting require essential laboratory skills to ensure accuracy and reliability. Students perform efficient calibration checks on basic laboratory equipment, master the use and precise reading of analytical glassware, and gain proficiency in...

Precise sample preparation and analysis are essential in industrial and scientific laboratories. Students learn to follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for sample preparations including homogenizing, weighing, drying, grinding, filtration, screening, extraction, and digestion. Students manage...

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a powerful and broadly applicable analytical technique. Students learn how to maintain the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) instrument, run samples on the HPLC following a standard operational procedure (SOP) to improve separation, then...

Part of the versatility of High Performance Liquid Chromatography is the ability to use different samples, solvents, and HPLC columns for sampling runs. Students learn how to successfully prepare and run samples on the High Performance Liquid Chromatograph instrument to separate, identify, and...

Careful data analysis and method validation are essential skills in HPLC chemical analysis. Students learn how to interpret and manipulate chromatograms to obtain reliable quantitative data; and how to write a method validation report for the HPLC Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for that data...

This course is intended for students who want an applied experiential learning opportunity which will build practical skills valued by employers, and be of use to subsequent academic studies. Each student is assigned a unique science project, typically based on an industry or non-profit identified...
