Objectives of the Course The main goal of this course is to provide students with the necessary skills for analyzing the chemical phenomena in nature and in modern technological applications.
• Providing students with fundamental knowledge and skills about the structure of matter, atoms, molecules, compounds, solids, liquids, and gases.
• Constructing conceptual understanding of solutions, acids-bases, chemical equilibrium, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry.
• Providing students with fundamental knowledge and skills on how to predict the outcome of chemical processes and on how to make use of them in real life.
Course Content Chemistry for Engineers is intended for engineering majors as an introduction to key concepts of chemistry. Topics included in this course are atomic and electronic structure, chemical bonding, molecular structure and bonding theories, properties of liquids, solids and solutions, chemical equilibrium, kinetics, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry.
