ACADEMIC COURSE OUTLINE
I. Basic course Information
A. Course Number and Title: General Chemistry I CHEM-103
B. Date of Proposal: February 2005
C. Sponsoring Department: Science and Engineering
D. Semester Credit Hours: 4
E. Weekly Contact Hours: Lecture 3
Laboratory 3
F. Prerequisites: Two years of college preparatory laboratory science or equivalent.
G. Laboratory Fees: Yes
II. Catalog Description
Prerequisites: Two years of college preparatory laboratory science or equivalent.
This course is an introduction to the fundamental theories and laws of modern
chemistry. Emphasis is placed on electronic structure and its relationship to bonding
and the periodic table, the physical states of matter, stoichiometry, molecular
geometry, gas laws, solutions, and their chemistry.
III. Statement of Course Need
This is the first course in a two-course sequence providing an introductory survey of
modern chemistry on the college level. It is required in the Biology, Biotechnology
(AS), Chemistry, Environmental Science, Pre-Chiropractic, Pre-Dentistry, Pre-
Medicine, Pre-Occupational Therapy, Pre-Pharmacy, Pre-Physical Therapy, Pre-
Physician’s Assistant, and Pre-Veterinary Medicine options of the Science and
Mathematics Associate of Science degree program, and the Engineering Science
Program.
