Faculty-directed experience in assisting with laboratory studies. May be repeated subject to availability of assignments. Prerequisite: Approval of instructor.
Students majoring in chemistry must complete the chemistry achievement examination prior to graduation. Prerequisite: Consent of department chairperson. Fee.
Supervised study will be carried out at the Veterans Administration facilities in Temple, Texas, or at an equivalent site. The study may involve applied clinical laboratory activities or more basic research programs. Supervision and evaluation of the study will be conducted by designated member(s) of the staff at the site. The student will normally be expected to write a formal report covering work done. A written examination and/or oral examination may be given at the conclusion of the study. Lab fee. Prerequisite: A minimum of 28 semester hours of Chemistry. In addition, a student may enroll for this course only after receiving the joint approval of the department chairperson and the supervising official(s) at the site. May be repeated up to a maximum of 6 semester hours of credit.
Students will conduct chemical research in collaboration with a faculty member. A minimum of 3 clock hours of laboratory work per week will be required. Library work and a written report may also be required. Prerequisite: CHEM 2181 and approval of instructor.
Requirements may include a literature search, oral presentation, and formal paper describing the studies and results of the student's work in CHEM 4193 Chemical Research - Capstone II. Prerequisite: CHEM 4181 and approval of instructor.
Requirements may include a literature search, oral presentation, and written abstract on a relevant topic in Chemistry. Prerequisite: permission of instructor.
Students will conduct chemical research in collaboration with a faculty member. A minimum of 3 clock hours of laboratory work per week will be required for each semester hour of credit. Library work and a written report of work will also be required. Course level ("V ") may range between 1 and 4 or Freshman through Senior level. Laboratory Fee. Prerequisite: Approval of instructor.
