Chemical Technology
The Chemical Technology curriculum prepares individuals for work as analytical technicians in chemical laboratories associated with chemical production, environmental concerns, pharmaceuticals, or general analysis.
Course work includes general chemistry, organic chemistry, introductory chemical engineering, qualitative analysis, and quantitative analysis, including such instrumental techniques as spectroscopy (UV-Vis, IR, AA) and chromatography (GC, LC). Students also utilize computerized data collection, reduction, and graphic presentation.
Graduates should qualify as entry-level chemical laboratory technicians. Their duties may include chemical solution preparation; raw material, product, or environmental sampling; and/or sample testing via wet chemistry or instrumental techniques.
