The First Year Chemistry Program comprises courses that address general principles of chemistry. Chemistry is a central discipline and impacts all of us, including those students who pursue careers in health, science, engineering and business.
The Chemistry First Year Program takes the health and safety of Students, Faculty, and Staff seriously. Until further notice, the main FYP office located in HELD 412 will be closed to face-to-face interactions. We ask that anyone wishing to contact the main office please email chemfyp@chem.tamu.edu.
Introduction to modern theories of atomic structure and chemical bonding; chemical reactions; stoichiometry; organic chemistry; thermochemistry; states of matter; solutions; acids and bases; oxidation-reduction reactions.
Colligative properties; thermodynamics and kinetics; complex equilibria and solubility products; electrochemistry; other topics: coordination chemistry; nuclear chemistry. Prerequisite: CHEM 101 and 111, CHEM 107 and 117, CHEM 119, or their equivalent.
Introduction to important concepts and principles of chemistry; emphasis on areas considered most relevant in an engineering context; practical applications of chemical principles in engineering and technology. Students completing CHEM 107 and changing majors to curricula requiring CHEM 101 and CHEM 102 may substitute CHEM 107 for CHEM 101. Students may not receive credit for both CHEM 107 and CHEM 101. Students completing CHEM 107 and 117 and changing majors to curricula requiring CHEM 119 and CHEM 120 may substitute CHEM 107 and 117 for CHEM 119. Students may not receive credit for both CHEM 107 and 117 and CHEM 119.
Introduction to important concepts and principles of chemistry in the laboratory; emphasis on areas considered most relevant in an engineering context; practical applications of chemical principles in engineering and technology. Students completing CHEM 117 and changing majors to curricula requiring CHEM 111 and CHEM 112 may substitute CHEM 117 for CHEM 111. Students may not receive credit for both CHEM 117 and CHEM 111. Students completing CHEM 107 and 117 and changing majors to curricula requiring CHEM 119 and CHEM 120 may substitute CHEM 107 and 117 for CHEM 119. Students may not receive credit for both CHEM 107 and 117 and CHEM 119.
In order to help our students purchase the correct materials and reduce the material costs, the Chemistry First Year Program has designed a webpage accessible only to those individuals with a TAMU NetID. To access the page, click the link below and log in using your TexasA&M Gmail account (NetID@tamu.edu). This requires DUO two-factor authentication. Duo can be setup at https://it.tamu.edu/duo if you have not done so already.
NOTE: If you are logged into Google with another user, you will be denied access. You must log out of any other Google accounts before being able to access the materials purchase page.
Purchase Chemistry FYP MaterialsThe First Year Chemistry Program presents a series of lectures from an eclectic group of speakers ranging from world-class researchers to individuals whose interests span a wide variety of topics on the outskirts of chemistry. The range of topics one finds here is also eclectic; some lectures are among the most important of our day, sometimes the lectures are just for fun.
