CHEM 111	CHEM 111 Principles of Chemistry I Course Credits: 3 This course considers modern concepts in the fundamental laws and principles of chemistry. Investigated topics include: stoichiometry, and chemical calculations, nature of solutions, acids and bases, and oxidation/reduction reactions, the gas laws, thermochemistry, the periodic table, bonding, molecular structure and descriptive inorganic chemistry. Prerequisite(s): Chemistry 12 or instructor’s permission. (3-1-3; 0-0-0) Co-requisite(s): CHEM 198-Lab (1 credit) NB: Credit is not given for both CHEM 103 and CHEM 111
CHEM 112	CHEM 112 Principles of Chemistry II Course Credits: 3 Modern concepts in the fundamental laws and principles of chemistry: Introduction to chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acids, bases and buffer systems, solubility equilibria, elementary energy concepts, electrochemistry and an introduction to organic chemistry. These concepts are discussed as far as possible in the context of their significance in life processes, in industrial process, and in the environment. Prerequisite(s): A grade of B or higher in CHEM 103 or a passing grade in CHEM 111; CHEM 198, or with instructor's permission. Co-requisite(s): CHEM 199-Lab (1 credit) NB: Credit is not given for both CHEM 104 and 112. CHEM 111 normally precedes CHEM 112. Students who do not achieve a B in CHEM 111 should take CHEM 104 instead of CHEM 112
CHEM 198	CHEM 198 Lab for CHEM 103 and 111 Course Credits: 1 This lab course will compliment either the CHEM 103 or CHEM 111 lectures. It is meant to give students an opportunity to apply the learning that is happening in class in a hands-on way. The chemical concepts learned in CHEM 103 or CHEM 111 will be explored (topics include: stoichiometry, the nature of solutions, acids and bases, oxidation/reduction reactions, thermochemistry, the periodic table, bonding, molecular structure and colligative properties). This chemistry lab is also meant to introduce students to lab safety, common lab practices and lab techniques that will be required for upper level science courses and beyond. NB: This lab is a co-requisite for CHEM 103 and CHEM 111
CHEM 199	CHEM 199 Lab for CHEM 104 and 112 Course Credits: 1 This lab course will compliment either the CHEM 104 or CHEM 112 lectures. It is meant to give students an opportunity to apply the learning that is happening in class in a hands-on way. The chemical concepts learned in CHEM 104 or CHEM 112 will be explored (topics include: solubility, kinetics, chemical equilibrium, organic synthesis and extraction, buffer chemistry and electrochemistry). This lab involves a special project where students will get to explore, in depth, an area of choice and present that knowledge to the class. This chemistry lab is also meant to introduce students to lab safety, common lab practices and lab techniques that will be required for upper level science courses and beyond. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 198. (0-0-3) NB: This lab is a co-requisite for CHEM 104 and CHEM 112
CMPT 140	CMPT 140 Introduction to Computing Science & Programming I Course Credits: 3 An elementary introduction to computing science and programming as a problem-solving tool. Fundamental concepts and terminology of computing science will be introduced. Programming skill will be obtained by using a high-level language. Topics will include: abstraction, data types and control structures, fundamental algorithms and pseudocode, computability and complexity, and computer architecture. Prerequisite(s): None. (3-0)
CMPT 166	CMPT 166 Introduction to Computing Science and Programming II Course Credits: 3 A rigorous introduction to computing science and computer programming. Students will learn in- depth programming concepts by seeing how object oriented (OO) concepts are employed in the design and writing of code in a variety of notations. The emphasis is on the theory of OO programming and design of solutions, as well as implementation using an OO language such as Java or C++. Prerequisite(s): CMPT 140 with a minimum grade of C+. (3-0)
MATH 123	MATH 123 Calculus I Course Credits: 3 This course addresses functions, limits and continuity, derivatives and applications, and integrals and applications. Prerequisite(s): At least a B in BC Principles of Mathematics 12, or Pre-Calculus 12 or equivalent, or MATH 105. (4-0-1; 4-0-1)
MATH 124	MATH 124 Calculus II Course Credits: 3 Transcendental functions, integration techniques, polar co-ordinates, sequences, series, and Taylor series. Prerequisite(s): MATH 123 (0-0-0; 4-0-1)
PHYS 111	PHYS 111 Fundamentals of Physics I Course Credits: 3 Students investigate physical reality employing basic principles of Newtonian mechanics which allow the description and explanation of motion: three-dimensional kinematics, dynamics of particles and rigid bodies including work, energy, momentum, rotational motion, simple harmonic motion, and fluids. Prerequisite(s): Physics 12 (3,0) Co-requisite(s): MATH 123
