Dr. López Course Descriptions
QUIM3255: Chemical Analysis I
This course is targeted at students pursuing higher education in the chemical sciences. It is an introductory course on the principles, practices and methods of chemical analysis with emphasis on learning about classical and instrumental methods of quantitative chemical analysis, how to perform quantitative measurements, how to process data to obtain reliable and valid information from experimental results. |
QUIM4015: Instrumental Analysis Laboratory I
This course develops your practical skills in the area of instrumental analysis with emphasis on the use of instrumentation to perform quantitative and qualitative analysis of chemical samples. Techniques discussed include: chromatography, spectrophotometric techniques, calorimetric, and electroanalysis. |
QUIM 3001/3002: General Chemistry I & II
An exciting two-semester introduction to chemistry focusing on: the molecular aspects of matter, changes of matter and the energy associated with these changes. As well as the states of matter, inter molecular forces and working with solutions. Laboratory work emphasizes basic techniques of chemical quantitative analysis with appropriate statistical methods of data handling. |
QUIM 8999: Material Sciences and Crystal Engineering
This course introduces basic concepts of crystal engineering in the context of materials chemistry. The course first introduces the fundamentals of how solid materials form in terms of bonding, inter molecular interactions, etc. Then describes solids in terms of their crystal structures, possible defects, and non-crystalline structures for some materials. It introduces characterization tools for materials and finally highlights some applications of materials that have changed our world. |
Dr. Stelzer's Course Descriptions
FAFI 6321/6322: Pharmaceutical Unit Operations I & II
This two-semester course offers an introduction to the theory and applications of fluid flow, and the theory and mechanisms of heat transfer within the pharmaceutical industry. The course is also an introduction to the theory and applications of particulate solids. These courses will provide knowledge concerning the design, manufacture, and control of pharmaceutical dosage forms. It will also teach the students concepts, new theories and their practical applications in the development and production of dosage forms and in drug delivery systems. |
FAGG 6213: Crystallization Science and Technology
The Crystallization Science and Technology course discusses the nucleation and growth of crystals from a liquid solution or a melt and their important role in a wide range of applications, including small and macro molecules. Students will be able to understand how to design, monitor, and control crystallization processes using a variety of techniques. Among those discussed are: X-ray Diffraction, PAT, and Melt Crystallization. |
