General, analytical, and synthetic chemistry concepts will be reinforced through problem- and inquiry-based laboratory activities. The Advanced Chemical Technologies track for majors will introduce research and scientific methods in the context of instructor and student-selected research problems. Hand-on experience in the laboratory will be supplemented with mini-lectures, modules, and web resources to increase student readiness for scientific discovery. Students will also learn about contemporary challenges and advances in chemistry and biochemistry. If a student withdraws from CHEM 1181, the student must also withdraw from CHEM 1341. Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment in CHEM 1341.
