AIC372 - Applied Inorganic Chemistry
This subject represents a systematic study of inorganic chemistry. Inorganic chemical principles are developed and their relationships to other branches of chemistry are stressed. Topics covered include atomic theory, bonding principles, and trends in the periodic table. This information is then used to explore individual elements and their place in the industrial setting. Students are expected to handle these topics with suitable mathematical competence.
CHO372 - Chemistry - Organic
This subject offers both lecture (theory) and laboratory (theory and practical) components. It is the only offering of organic chemistry in the Chemical Laboratory Technician (CLT) program. The lectures focus on the functional group approach (i.e. including their characteristics and reactions) and the laboratory component covers synthesis, separation, purification and identification of organic compounds.
MBG372 - Microbiology
An introductory course which examines the structure and physiology of microorganisms. Laboratory exercises introduce basic microbiological techniques including staining and microscopy, media preparation and culture techniques, quantitation of microbial populations, the examination of physical and chemical factors which affect the growth of microbes, and methods used to isolate and identify common bacteria.
PHY453 - Physics
An introductory course in physics that covers the essential knowledge and skills students need for subsequent studies in chemistry and biological sciences. Topics include motion, energy, electric and magnetic forces, waves, light and optics. The course focuses on reasoning, helping students to see the relationships between physical ideas and their direct experiences and to hone their analytical and critical thinking skills needed for other courses and for their careers.
SES391 - Effective Technical Writing
This subject focuses on technical writing skills for biochemistry students. After an introduction to basic communication elements (audience analysis, technical style, routine correspondence), students will write summaries, standard operating procedures, and informal reports; use visual aids; develop oral presentation strategies; and update career packages. Emphasis throughout will be placed on effective writing strategies and editing techniques. .
Prerequisite: EAC150 or equivalent
GEN001 - General Education Option
According to the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities, ?the purpose of General Education in the Ontario college system is to contribute to the development of citizens who are conscious of the diversity, complexity, and richness of the human experience; who are able to establish meaning through this consciousness; and, who, as a result, are able to contribute thoughtfully, creatively, and positively to the society in which they live and work. General Education strengthens students' generic skills, such as critical analysis, problem solving, and communication, in the context of an exploration of topics with broad-based personal and / or societal importance?. Please contact the School of English and Liberal Studies at your campus to find out more about the variety of General Education courses from which you can choose.
