Domains

Program Domains

Science Foundations -
- Utilize scientific processes of questioning, planning, and conducting investigations, using appropriate tools and techniques to gather data, thinking logically and critically about relationships between evidence and explanations, and communicating results in a scientific manner.
- Explain and apply biological concepts of structure and function at cellular, molecular, biochemical, tissue, and organismal levels of organization.
- Identify and explain the physical, chemical, and atomic properties of matter and examine quantitative relationships in chemical reactions.
- Explain and apply physical principles and concepts including electrostatics, optics, and magnetism, using mathematical descriptions.
Professional and Scientific Communication -
- Identify the principles of scientific communication.
- Access current research to demonstrate scientific inquiry skills.
- Analyze central ideas and concepts to present in a cohesive and logical manner.
- Demonstrate the ability to effectively present ideas through written communication.
- Demonstrate the ability to effectively present ideas through verbal communication.
Professionalism and Ethics -
- Analyze the social and professional context of chemistry, and adhere to ethical codes of conduct.
- Research the historical, social, professional, ethical and legal aspects of chemistry.
- Articulate and demonstrate how teamwork is integrated in the sciences, and how chemistry supports an organization.

Data Analysis and Interpretation -
- Develop the most appropriate test of hypothesis using a variety of experimental designs.
- Distinguish between empirical and theoretical probability and the impact on the interpretations of results.
- Implement various strategies to retrieve data and translate it into useful information, within a given context.
- Interpret chemical data sets and outcomes; design appropriate follow-up analyses.
Chemistry -
- Explain behaviors of organic compounds in chemical reactions.
- Apply mathematical concepts and principles to create models that provide for the understanding of the properties of matter.
- Apply the concepts of organometallic chemistry, coordination chemistry, and materials chemistry to catalysis.
- Examine the concepts of chemical analysis within an environmental application.
Chemical Analysis -
- Demonstrate and maintain chemical safety, safety procedures, and the ethical treatment of living organisms in a laboratory setting.
- Apply the principles of stoichiometry and chemical equilibrium and kinetics in problem solving.
- Apply the principles of thermodynamics and electrochemistry in problem solving.
- Demonstrate skills useful in the synthesis of compounds, isolation of natural products, and study of reaction mechanisms.
- Interpret and devise approaches for determining the physical and chemical properties of atoms or molecules.
