Courses

Serves as the primary opportunity for the student to demonstrate their competency in community design and planning by translating knowledge into action through the development of a practical plan.

Fundamental concepts including chemical equilibrium, kinetics, and electronic interactions are explored through synthetic design, advanced spectroscopic methods, and data analysis. Techniques from organic chemistry are further developed and scientific writing is emphasized.

Underlying technical basis for synthetic biology; tools used to generate recombinant molecules; genetic circuitry and modules applied to bacteria; design and fabrication of genes, biological components and entire organisms; survey actual and theoretical applications.

Fundamentals of gasification and liquefaction concepts applied to fossil fuels and biomass conversion.

Survey of certain reactions that enjoy widespread application to the synthesis of organic compounds.

A mechanistic approach to organic chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry is an advanced level organic chemistry course for students majoring in chemistry. Different multi-step synthetic methods pertaining to natural products, drugs, pharmaceuticals, dyes and fine chemicals, organic polymers, food and beverage flavoring will be taught in this course.

Lab component to accompany corresponding course.

Students pursue research-related interests as directed by, and with prior approval from, a member of the graduate faculty.

Application of computer programming and system development concepts, principles and practices to system development design. Topics include I/O specifications, program coding, file organization, implementation and testing, documentation and performance measurement and control. Prerequisite INFO 3560 and INFO 4600.

Systems engineering considers the entire lifecycle of a system. Therefore, it makes sense to consider the entire cost of the product or system form cradle to grave. This course presents methods, processes, and tools needed to conduct cost analysis, estimation, and management of complex systems.
