Lecture/semester) Brief Description of Undergraduate Courses Taught: (Course Title – Code: Description)
1 Chem 203: General chemistry201 course covers these fundamental subjects:
Chemical foundations, atoms, Molecules, and Ions, stoichiometry, types of chemical reactions and solution stoichiometry, atomic structure and periodicity, bonding: general concepts and covalent bonding: orbitals.
2 Chem 322 N: This course provides an introduction to the fundamental aspects of Chemical reaction kinetics.
The course is focused on studying the kinetics of elementary reactions as well as complexes reactions, using the kinetic data with helping of some fundamental kinetics theories to understand the mechanisms of chemical reactions.
3 Chem 426 N: This course provides an introduction to the fundamental aspects of colloid chemistry and colloidal dispersions. Colloidal dispersions are present in every-day life, from food systems to ceramics.
Therefore, the course is relevant for people working in research, development and formulation of any colloidal system, be it paints, coatings, ceramics, food or pharmaceutical formulations.
4 Chem 241 N: This course provide an introduction to analytical chemistry – classification of quantitative chemical analysis methods – principles of volumetric titrations, acid base titration, Redox titration and gravimetric analysis
5 Chem 323: This course provide an introduction to surface chemistry ideas and concepts which build upon the basis of thermodynamics and kinetic properties of surfaces, electronic and bonding behavior of surfaces, catalytic processes by surfaces, and typical surface analysis techniques. The course focused on the catalytic reactions of different types
6 Chem 324 NR: The course covers essential parts of modern theoretical and experimental photochemistry.
Classical and quantum mechanical methods are used to describe fundamental photochemical and
photophysical processes in molecules. The course focuses on description of photochemical transformations relevant to energy conversion schemes.
7 Chem 221 NR: This course focus on the thermodynamics laws (1st, 2nd and 3rd), thermal efficiency and the difference between various forms of energy and describe energy exchange processes
8 Phys 101 Nr: This course is an introduction to mechanics, heat, wave motion, and vibration. It covers concepts and applications of the following topics: kinematics, dynamics, gravitation, energy, momentum and heat
9 Chem 480: This course emphasis on solid-state materials and their application to engineering systems. The fundamental relationship between electronic structure, chemical bonding, and atomic order, then proceed to the chemical properties of "aggregates of molecules," including crystals, metals, glasses, semiconductors, solutions and acid-base equilibria, polymers, and biomaterials.
