Students may not register for this course more than once with the same supervising faculty member.

Chem 726 - Independent Study II (3 credits )
Prerequisite: written permission from the Associate Chairperson for Environmental Science plus courses prescribed by the supervising faculty member (who is not the student's thesis advisor). This special course covers areas of study in which one or more students may be interested, but which are not sufficiently broad to warrant a regular course offering. Students may not register for this course more than once with the same supervising faculty member.

Chem 727 - Independent Study III (3 credits )
Prerequisite: written permission from the Associate Chairperson for Environmental Science plus courses prescribed by the supervising faculty member (who is not the student's thesis advisor). This special course covers areas of study in which one or more students may be interested, but which are not sufficiently broad to warrant a regular course offering. Students may not register for this course more than once with the same supervising faculty member.

Chem 734 - Thermochemical Kinetics-Detailed Mechanistic Modeling (3 credits)
Prerequisite: graduate level course in either kinetics or reactor design, or permission of instructor. Quantitative estimation of thermochemical data and chemical reactions in the vapor phase, and to some extent in the liquid phase; theories of transition state, RRKM, and Quantum RRK; and detailed chemical modeling concepts for reactor design. Applied computer project is required.

Chem 735 - Combustion (3 credits)
Prerequisite: thermodynamics and kinetics or equivalent, or permission of instructor. Thermodynamic properties of stable molecules and free radical species in combustion and oxidation of aliphatic hydrocarbons; reactions occurring in high temperature combustion systems; and related kinetic principles.

Chem 736 - Inorganic Biological Chemistry (3-0-3)
This class introduces fundamental aspects of metals' roles at the interface of inorganic/organic and biological worlds. Both the "why" and "how" questions of the role of metals in materials and biological sciences will be answered based on the concept of symmetry and its consequences. Special attention will be paid to understanding the electronic structure, spectroscopic signatures and reactivity of metal ions in coordination environments related to chemical and biological catalysis. Effective From: Fall 2008

Chem 737 - Applications of Computational Chemistry and Molecular Modeling (3-1-3)
Students are exposed to hands-on applications and fundamental aspects of computational chemistry and molecular modeling in organic, inorganic, bio- and physical chemistry. The course provides methods to determine the thermochemistry of a reaction, and strength (energy)of interactions by organic drug-like molecules with proteins. The course teaches the student to evaluate relative energy of different structures plus chemical species stability, reactivity and equilibrium ratios in chemical environments. Effective From: Spring 2009

Chem 748 - Nanomaterials (3)
Prerequisites: New feature of the 700 level course will be hands-on small projects carried out by groups of two students in Professor Iqbal's laboratories during the second half of the semester. The projects will be selected from the topics covered in the course. A second feature will involve a lecture on a specialized nanomaterial topic given by an invited outside lecturer. This 3 credit interdisciplinary course is designed to teach and provide hands-on project experience to M.S. and Ph.D. graduate students in chemistry, physics/materials science, and chemical/biomedical/electrical engineering on the fundamentals, synthesis, characterization and applications of nanomaterials. 75% of the course will comprise of lectures-one or two of which will be given by invited outside lecturers. 25% of the course will involve small projects based on the syllabus and conducted in the research laboratories of the instructor. Effective From: Spring 2009

Chem 777 - Principles of Medicinal Chemistry (3)
Teaches about drug design, and the molecular mechanisms by which drugs act in the body. Covers pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, molecular targets used by drugs, the interaction of a drug with a target, and the consequences of this interaction. Covers strategies used in discovering and designing new drugs, and surveys the "tools of the trade" involved, e.g., QSAR, combichem and computer aided design. Covers special topics like chlorinergics, analgesics, opiates, antibacterials, antivirals, and antiulcer agents. Effective From: Spring 2009

Chem 791 - Graduate Seminar (Non-credit)
Required of all chemistry graduate students receiving departmental or research-based awards and all doctoral students. The student must register each semester until completion of the degree. Outside speakers and department members present their research for general discussion.
