09-223 Introduction to Analytical Problem Solving in the Laboratory

6 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This course has been developed specifically in response to the Fall 2020 semester to provide an inperson lab experience open only to chemistry majors. It has taken the first 12unit lab class for the major, 09221, and divided the content into two, 6unit minis. The first mini introduces a variety of experimental and instrumental approaches to obtaining quantitative information about chemical systems in the laboratory. The second mini is more project oriented, including a team based project that will conclude virtually after Thanksgiving. The course is projectoriented with the experiments becoming more complex, requiring greater student input into the experimental design as the semester progresses. In addition to techniques and experiment design, safety, written and oral communication skills, and effective teamwork are emphasized. 2 hrs. lec., 6 hrs. lab.

Prerequisites: 09-107 or 09-106
