CHEM 358	CHEM 358 Modern Analytical Methods Course Credits: 3 Introduction to the theory and practice of analytical chemistry. After a review of the basic laboratory techniques used in pure and applied chemistry and in biological chemistry, the course discusses a number of instrumental techniques, particularly those based on chromatographic, electromagnetic radiation, and electrochemical theories. NB: CHEM 357 should precede CHEM 358. Not offered every year. See department chair.
CHEM 370	CHEM 370 Environmental Chemistry Course Credits: 3 The study of chemical reactions as they relate to the environment. The course takes a biogeochemical approach with emphasis placed on the deleterious effects that human activities and technologies have had on atmospheric, aquatic, and terrestrial systems. Methods to alleviate environmental problems are considered.
CHEM 372	CHEM 372 Molecular Genetics Course Credits: 3 This course considers modern developments and techniques in genetics, especially the basic and applied aspects of recombinant DNA technology. NB: CHEM 372 may only be applied to the Life Sciences Emphasis Program in chemistry.
CHEM 384	CHEM 384 Principles of Biochemistry Course Credits: 3 The study of chemical structure, function, and metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. This class is continued as CHEM 386.
CHEM 386	CHEM 386 Biosynthesis Course Credits: 3 In this course, two aspects of biochemistry are developed: (1) The modern understanding of the biochemical transfer of genetic information: DNA structure and synthesis, transcription, and translation. These are related to developments in recombinant DNA technology. (2) An introduction to physiological biochemistry including vision, muscle contraction, and neurotransmission. NB: CHEM 386 may only be applied to the Life Sciences Emphasis and honours programs in chemistry.
CHEM 400	CHEM 400 Directed Studies in Chemistry Course Credits: 2, 3 Students are required to produce an outline of the topic to be studied in consultation with the instructor. A course of reading and/ or experimentation is pursued according to the approved outline. Assessment may be via examination and/or a final written report. NB: This course with the appropriate choice of topics can be used as a preparation for the senior thesis (CHEM 410).
CHEM 409	CHEM 409 Thesis Preparation Course Credits: 1 In consultation with a faculty advisor, the student will propose a chemical research project, which will actually be investigated in the follow-up course, CHEM 410. The student must first do a thorough search of the relevant chemical literature. A specific project proposal is then to be formulated and presented in a written report.
CHEM 410	CHEM 410 Senior Thesis Course Credits: 2 The course follows up on CHEM 409; the research project that was proposed in CHEM 409 is actually carried out in CHEM 410. This is done under the supervision of a faculty member of the chemistry department. As a result, there are no lectures; rather the course is centered on the lab. In addition to the facilities at Trinity Western, other facilities may be utilized where possible and useful. The project will result in a written thesis and public presentation.
CHEM 411	CHEM 411 Senior Thesis Course Credits: 3 Students research a chosen area of chemistry and provide a final written report. NB: Application and acceptance into Honours program in political studies or Honours program in international studies. See department chair or International Studies coordinator.
