Syllabus

Spring, 2021 BMEN 2600: Introduction to Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry

Catalog Description: This course introduces the main principles of organic chemistry and biochemistry, preparing the student for BMEN 3030/3035. Topics include nomenclature of organic compounds and biomolecules, major reactions of organic chemistry, relationship between chemical structures and biological functions, and the reaction pathways of major metabolic processes. Designation: This course is required of all BMEN undergraduate students. Prerequisites: CHEM 1080 and CHEM 1085, or approval of instructor Textbook: General, Organic, and Biochemistry, 10th Edition by Katherine Denniston and Joseph Topping and Danae Quirk Dorr, ISBN10: 1260148955, ISBN13: 9781260148954, Copyright: 2020 Course Specific Aims: Students will: • learn to describe the covalently bonded structure of organic compounds; • learn to recognize, organize, and describe three-dimensional and stereochemical features of organic and biological molecules; • develop competency in writing equations describing the reactions of organic compounds; • learn the structures and functions of major classes of biological macromolecules and macromolecular assemblies; • understand basic features and concepts of metabolism and molecular biology; Topics: Saturated hydrocarbons Unsaturated hydrocarbons: Alkenes, Alkynes, Aromatics Alcohols, Phenols, Thiols, and Ethers Aldehydes and Ketones Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives Amines and Amides Class Schedule:

T-TH 7:35-8:45 AM

Professional Component: This course provides 3 credits toward the biological science aspect of the professional component of the biomedical engineering program. It may also serve as an elective in computer science, environmental, mechanical and computer engineering programs. Program Objectives: BMEN 260 relates to the BMEN undergraduate program objectives as the foundation of an ability to understand biological systems and physiology. The course will also contribute to preparing the students to effectively communicate with technical colleagues. Course Outcomes: The most strongly addressed ABET criteria are: (1) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics (5 chits) (3) an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences (2 chit) (6) an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions (2 chit) (PGM-A) Applying principles of engineering, biology, human physiology, chemistry, calculus-based physics, mathematics (through differential equations) and statistics (9 chits).
