Title: Chemistry of Molecular Machine
Course Section Number: CHE-491-01
Department: Chemistry
Description: 1st Half Semester Course This senior capstone course will challenge students with an application of fundamental concepts from earlier coursework, particularly computational modeling, to the topic of molecular machines. With potential applications in drug delivery and molecular electronics to development of "nanocars", molecular machines are an emerging field. The first artificial molecular machine was synthesized in 1994 and the 2016 Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded to Stoddart, Sauvage, and Feringa for their work with molecular machines. In-depth exploration will connect overarching themes in the major and provide a powerful launching point for written comprehensive exam preparation. Critical engagement with the primary literature and diverse modes of oral and written presentation will be emphasized. This one-half credit course is required of all chemistry majors and meets twice each week for the first half of the semester.
