COL 101
COLLEGE AND TRANSFER SUCCESS
1(1-0)
College Orientation activities are integrated into COL 101. This
course will help incoming students transition to college by
providing key information and addressing important non cognitive
skills. This course will familiarize students with the college
environment, provide students with the tools to build important
academic skills, learn how to study smarter, optimize time, learn
proven test taking strategies, and set academic, transfer and
career goals.
F
CHM 152 GENERAL AND INORGANIC CHEMISTRY II
5 (4-3)
A continuation of CHM 151. Topics include acid-based laws,
phase changes, solutions, chemical kinetics, equilibrium, and
thermodynamics,
acid-base
equilibria
and
buffers,
electrochemistry, and nuclear chemistry.
Prerequisite None

College Orientation activities are integrated into COL 102. This
course will help incoming students transition to college by
providing key information and addressing important non cognitive
skills. This course will familiarize students with the college
environment, provide students with the tools to build important
academic skills, learn how to study smarter, optimize time, learn
proven test taking strategies, and set academic and career goals. A
comprehensive approach to career preparation will include
resume and cover letter writing, interview skills, and employability
soft skills.
Prerequisite CHM 151 (completed with a C or higher)
CHM 201 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I
4 (3-3)
This course endeavors to explain what is currently known about
the basic properties and reactions of organic matter. The
chemistry of carbon compounds, including their structure,
nomenclature, stereochemistry, preparation, reaction, properties,
and analysis, will be introduced on a level appropriate for science,
engineering, and pre=professional students. Reaction mechanisms
will focus on the alkene and alkyne functional groups during
the first semester. The accompanying laboratory offers hands-on
experience in synthesizing, isolating, and analyzing a variety of
organic compounds using some of the basic experimental
techniques employed by the organic chemist.
Prerequisite None
Prerequisite CHM 151-152 (completed with a C or higher)
COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE (CMV)
CHM 202 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II
4 (3-3)
Continuation of Chemistry 201. The material covered will include
substitution and elimination reactions, the chemistry of benzene,
class I and II carbonyl chemistry, and an introduction of
organometallic chemistry. Emphasis will be on reactions, multistep synthesis, theory, and mechanisms. The accompanying
laboratory offers hands-on experience in synthesizing, isolating,
and analyzing a variety of organic compounds using some of the
basic experimental techniques employed by the organic chemist.
Theory of mass spectrometry, IR and NMR will be introduced
during the laboratory period.
CMV 110
CLASS B STRAIGHT TRUCK BASIC
