CHM 110, “Science of Light and Color” is a multidisciplinary course developed to satisfy the laboratory science component of Marymount University’s liberal arts core curriculum.  It was initially designed for students majoring in graphic, interior or fashion design.  The course is laboratory intensive.  Most of the two hour sessions consist of a laboratory exercise designed to demonstrate a fundamental principle in physics, chemistry, or biology with the unifying theme of light and color.  Among the many topics covered are geometric optics, elementary atomic theory, properties of dyes and fabrics, and modern phenomena such as lasers, fiber optics, and quantum dots.  The course content and results from student evaluations of the course will be discussed.
