Forensic Option		Industrial Chemistry and Its Impact on Society
Due to significant student interest on campus and in Montana, the Chemistry Department has introduced a new degree option in Forensic Chemistry. This degree option is a rigorous Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry that includes relevant courses in forensic science (through the Department of Anthropology), sociology, and biology. The program will also take advantage of expertise and facilities at the Montana State Crime Laboratory in Missoula. The goal of the program is to prepare graduates for entry-level jobs in forensic or crime laboratories, or in any laboratory with an emphasis on analytical chemistry. Graduates will also be prepared to attend graduate school in chemistry or in forensic science. Chemistry 492 Forensic Research/Internship Experience 3 cr. Offered autumn, spring and summer. Prereq., consent of instr. Laboratory investigations and research on forensic chemistry topics under the direction of a faculty member. Alternatively, students will serve an internship at the Montana State Crime Laboratory or equivalent forensic laboratory. Prior approval must be obtained from the faculty supervisor and the Internship Services office. Chemistry 493 Forensic Science Seminar 1 cr. Offered autumn. Prereq., Chem 342 and Anth 286. Seminar speakers on forensic science topics in the areas of ethics, law, anthropology and criminology; tours of the Montana State Crime Laboratory.		The course will study the process chemistry of five local chemical industries: 1) Smurfit-Stone, 2) ASIMI, 3) Semitool, 4) Stillwater Mining, 5) Columbia Falls Aluminum. Students will visit at least one and perhaps more of the plants depending on class size. The students will be asked to evaluate the environmental, economic and social impact of these industries on their respective communities. Guest speakers from the various industries will address the class. The class will emphasize student engagement in the form of white papers and debates with respect to getting a full picture of the impact of these industries on our lives. Chemistry 395 Credits:3 Prerequisites: Chemistry 151-2 or Chemistry 161-2 Instructor: Ed Rosenberg No text, handouts and open literature Meets: TR 3:40-5:00 PM in JR 306 Open to all undergraduates and graduate students
