CERM 105 Introduction to Glaze Technology and Surface Treatment is an introduction to glaze chemistry and formulation. Students will develop their own personal glaze palette using the raw materials that make up commercial glazes. Other surface treatments covered will include slips, under glaze and screen printing.

In CERM 106 Ceramic Technology II - Surface and Kiln, a confident understanding of the kiln will be integrated with students completing their studio ceramic work. Technology included will be firing cycles, safe practices, maintenance and history. Glaze and surface directions are explored and applied in relation to kiln operation.

In CERM 108 Studio Specific Design, students will develop ceramic forms that examine and experiment with concepts, elements and principles of design. Participation in critical reviews will be central to this course.

CERM 112 Studio 1 – Design for Production. Students will engage in developing a body of work in preparation for production. With weekly critiques, there will be an emphasis on examining individual design issues and resolving technical problems.

CERM 114 Studio 2 – Glaze and Surface Development. Instruction will be weekly seminars and individual focused meetings with the instructor that are based on student's needs and in support of the Design for Studio Production course.

CERM 120 Self-Directed Studio 1. Self directed studio-based exploration where students receive some mentorship. Personal areas of focus are proposed by students. Students develop individual choices and expressions with support and encouragement of faculty advisors.

CERM 300 Directed Studies in Ceramics permits senior students, under the direction of faculty members, to pursue their interest in areas not covered, or not covered in depth, by other courses through a program of independent study.

CHEM 50 Chemistry - Advanced Level is a course for students with little or no previous experience in chemistry.

The lab portion of this course develops student skills in laboratory safety, chemistry lab procedures and techniques, data collection, analysis, and scientific communication. Upon completion of this course, students are

CHEM 110 Fundamentals of Chemistry I is an introductory general chemistry course leading into science or engineering programs for students who have taken CHEM 11 (or equivalent) or who need improvement to their chemistry background. It provides an extensive review of the fundamentals of chemical nomenclature, reactions and stoichiometry involving solids, gases and solutions. Current theories for

CHEM 120 Chemistry for Engineering is a one-semester general chemistry course fulfilling the chemistry requirement for transfer into engineering programs, emphasizing aspects of physical chemistry. The course begins with thermochemistry, followed by classical and quantum mechanical concepts used to discuss atomic and molecular structure. The course continues with an investigation of gases, and

CHEM 122 General Chemistry I is an introductory general chemistry course leading into science or engineering programs for students who have a solid chemistry background, including Chemistry 12 or equivalent. After a short review of fundamental chemistry, classical and quantum mechanical concepts are used to discuss atomic and molecular structure. The course ends with an investigation of

CHEM 125 Fundamentals of Chemistry II is the continuation for either CHEM 110 or CHEM 122. The course consists of two major units: physical chemistry and organic chemistry. The study of physical chemistry begins with an investigation of reaction rates (kinetics), followed by the principles of equilibria applied to pure substances and aqueous solutions, and an introduction to the laws of

CHEM 212 Organic Chemistry I explores the relationship between the structures of carbon-containing molecules and their physical and chemical properties. Some topics from 1st-year general chemistry are reviewed briefly: alkanes, stereochemistry, alkenes, and nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions of alkyl halides. The correlation between structure and acidity is investigated, and the

CHEM 213 Organic Chemistry II is a continuation of CHEM 212. The survey of organic families is continued with a study of aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acid derivatives, aromatics and amines. The chemistry of a variety of compounds of biological interest is also discussed. The laboratory work involves synthesis and organic structure determination.

CHEM 222 Introductory Physical Chemistry presents the basic concepts of chemical thermodynamics and equilibria. The properties of solutions, electrochemical reactions, acidic and basic systems are examined. The principles of reaction kinetics are introduced. In the laboratory, some quantitative properties of physicochemical systems are measured.

CHEM 225 Physical Chemistry for Biosciences presents the basic concepts of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics that apply to biological systems. Students will explore why gases would behave differently at different conditions (e.g. deep sea diving, high altitude, other planets), how ideal engines function, why some reactions spontaneous, how do we explain the effect of salting roads in winter
