ChemCom will provide an understanding of the role of chemistry in supplying our water needs; obtaining and conserving chemical resources; and the importance of petroleum. In ChemCom, as in any chemistry course, math is an important and necessary tool; however, math does not drive this course. Math is introduced in small, manageable portions and only on a need to know basis. Group and laboratory activities make up about 50% of the course work. ChemCom is appropriate for college bound students but is not sufficient for students intending to pursue degrees in engineering, science or the allied health professions. Chemistry may be taken subsequent to ChemCom."
