    This course provides an overview of key regulatory frameworks and compliance requirements relevant to industrial chemists working in fields such as nutritional supplements, medical supplies, defense manufacturing, state laboratories, and small molecule synthesis. Students will explore regulations enforced by agencies including the FDA, EPA, OSHA, and DOT, as well as international standards like ITAR/EAR and GHS. Emphasis is placed on understanding the practical application of compliance in areas such as good manufacturing practices, hazardous materials handling, chemical labeling, and safety protocols. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the tools to navigate regulatory challenges, ensure workplace compliance, and prepare for industry audits.

    Planning, conducting, and analyzing scientific experiments are critical skills central to applying the scientific method. An introduction to an efficient and effective experimental design, known as Statistical Design of Experiments (DOE), is presented. The application of DOE principles is broken down into four main steps. (1) Identifying the most important variables in the study using Plackett-Burman screening. (2) Using two-level factorial designed experiments to determine the main and interaction effects on the system responses. (3) Mathematical models are developed based on these responses and used to predict results of further experiments. (4) Introduce students to commercially available DOE software. This course includes laboratory exercises for the student to test and apply the DOE concepts to an experimental study. During the laboratory investigation, students will evaluate both screening and factorial designs.
