The Chemistry department provides instruction in a wide range of chemistry-related fields. We serve students who intend to major in such diverse fields as biochemistry and biotechnology, engineering, medicine & health sciences, biology, and physics. We also offer specialized courses for working professionals and courses designed specifically for non-science majors.

You will find resources here for helping you succeed in your classes.Be sure to look at the FAQ page to find commonly asked questions about registering for classes. If you have further questions, contact the department chair.

We look forward to helping you meet your academic and career goals.

Coming Soon: Chemistry Certificate of Achievement Fall 2018

Catalog Description

Chemistry is the investigation of matter.Grappling with the difficult problems students will face during their lifetimes such as the treatment of disease, assessment of environmental pollutant risk, the challenge of feeding a growing world population, understanding the processes that affect the Earths climate, and the continuous improvement of technology all require an integrated approach to problem solving and an understanding of chemistry.Students obtaining a Certificate of Achievement in chemistry will develop a view of the world around them that is shaped by their understanding of chemical principles, physics, and the language of mathematics.During experiences in a laboratory setting, students will practice the scientific method to explore chemical phenomena, solve problems in a strategic fashion, and formulate and communicate an understanding of matter from a chemists perspective.Students obtaining a Certificate of Achievement in chemistry will be prepared to transfer to a Bachelor of Science in chemistry program at a four-year college and take upper division chemistry coursework, enter the chemistry workforce, or pursue opportunities where chemistry plays a role.Future careers for students obtaining a Certificate of Achievement in chemistry, after further education, include:

High school or middle school teacher

Physician

Patent attorney

Chemical Engineer

Criminologist

Museum Curator

Environmental Engineer

The minimum time for completion of this certificate is 4 semesters. Completion time will vary based on student preparation and number of units or classes completed per semester.

Student Learning Outcomes

Assess scientific data and use those data to evaluate the quality of conclusions.

Use available chemical compounds, gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques to conduct multi-step organic syntheses from planning through implementation and structural verification.

Identify and quantify organic chemical compounds after obtaining and purifying them from their natural plant sources.

Operate multiple pieces of scientific laboratory instrumentation to analyze environmental samples and evaluate the risks of environmental exposure.

Use current technology to assess, organize, and apply relevant chemical information.

Apply mathematical representations and use the language of chemistry to communicate an understanding of chemistry in written and oral form.

EAC’s 24th annual Student Chemistry Adventure brings chemistry to life – Eastern Arizona Courier

Posted on by

THATCHER Eastern Arizona Colleges Chemistry Department welcomed 74 high school students and their teachers to the 25th annual Student Chemistry Adventure. Twenty-one unique teams from high schools across Arizona enjoyed a day filled with chemistry.

Teams composed of three to four students competed against each other while rotating through three separate chemistry activities. The Industrial Laboratory competition was led by Jing Lin, senior chemist at Freeport-McMoRan, and Duane DeSpain, EAC biology instructor, with assistance from five additional FMI scientists.

The Knowledge and Speed competitions, where students had 55 minutes to complete several short chemistry projects, concluded the activities. At the end of the tournaments, each participant was presented with a copper puck souvenir courtesy of FMI.

After a lunch provided by Sodexo Food Service, students and teachers congregated in the Math/Science Building, where an array of other colorful, loud, bright and exciting chemical demonstrations were given.

Dr. Phil McBride, EAC dean of instruction, recognized the participants and expressed thanks to the high school chemistry teachers for their efforts in providing quality instruction to their students.

The Atoms Family of Safford High School, composed of Danny John, Summer Dahlquist-Tookey, Dalton Henrie and Statton Baldwin, received first-place medals and a team plaque.

Second-place medals and a team plaque went to the Morenci Cu Cats composed of Ernest Arvizo, Matthew Porter, Skyler Howard and Andrew Stavast.

Third-place medals and a team plaque went to NaCl from Thatcher High School, composed of Katie Baldwin, Maya Baldwin and Marc Terry.

McBride, DeSpain and Joel Shelton, another of EACs chemistry instructors, expressed a special thanks to high school teachers Joni Giacomino (Douglas), Becky Bell (Duncan), Dana Olson (Fort Thomas), Kristy Roberts (Morenci), Heidi Vosbein (Mt. Graham), Carol Hawkins (Pima), Brian J. Bruessel (Safford) and Ty White (Willcox) for their teaching expertise and dedication to their students.

For further information about educational and career opportunities in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields or for information about exciting science camps being offered this summer for students entering grades 6-12, including a three-day, two-night extended camp at Tonto Creek, contact McBride at Eastern Arizona College at 928-428-8404.
