Introduction to Nanoscience Lecture

This course, which consists of lecture and laboratory components, is an introduction to nanoscience chemistry and its technological applications in our society. The synthesis of nanomaterials, the tools used to characterize these materials, and the societal impacts of nanomaterials and nanotechnology, such as ethical, legal and environmental implications, will be studied.Note: Successful completion of CH-116 lecture satisfies the Life and Physical Sciences General Education Core Requirement. Students are strongly encouraged to take CH-117 lab while taking CH-116 lecture to satisfy the laboratory science requirement for graduation and improve the chances of transfer to other colleges. This course may not be used as part of the Science or Mathematics Concentration required for the A.S. in Liberal Arts and Sciences curriculum.
