This course discusses the use of CAI, CBI, and the Internet in chemistry education. In addition, the class deals with basic computer languages and programs in order to develop teaching materials.
718.662 Chemistry Education and Chemistry
SeminarThis seminar is established a field of the following areas by turn: Chemistry Education, Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Inorganic Chemistry. The course suggests new ideas and what discusses about each distinction, utility through analysis the current study of most recent in the chemistry education or a division of chemistry. It makes a schedule with capturing of subjects of the study through discussion and analyses of results, and makes a paper and report. .
718.664 Biological Applications of Nanomaterials
The objective of this course is to provide students with an over view of current topics in the applications of nanomaterials in bio-related fields. In the first part we will survery the unique properties of nanoparticles which result from the confinement of matter into nanascale features. The preparation and characterization methods of nanomaterials will also be introduced nanomaterials and their applications, which include bioconjungation methods, solution-based probes/ sensors, in vitro and invivo imaging, and nanoparticle therapeutics.
