Courses

TESC 141 General Chemistry I

This course is the first of a series of introductory courses designed to provide students with the fundamental principles of chemistry.  Topics such as components of matter, stoichiometry, gas behavior, chemical reactions and equilibrium are discussed in detail. Students taking this course will gain a solid foundation in chemistry that will aid in further studies in environmental, health and physical sciences.  This course will help students develop and improve their problem solving skills, provide an introduction to scientific writing and practice basic laboratory techniques.
