Overall Educational Objective

Having completed this course, a student will be able to know the basic principles of chemistry, integrate these principles to everyday observations, acquire chemical knowledge to form a basis for the engineering applications, apply scientific method to solve problems, have increased awareness in environmental issues.

Course Description

This course covers the fundamental chemistry topics, including a brief introduction to atoms, elements, atomic theories and contemporary atomic theory. Periodic table, chemical compounds, chemical reactions, gases, thermochemistry, chemical bonding, liquids, solids, chemical equilibrium, acids and bases will be covered within this course.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) Demonstrate knowledge in the electronic structure of atoms and the properties of elements in periodic table;
2) Name chemical compounds, balance chemical equations and perform calculations by making use of stoichiometry in chemical reactions;
3) Solve problems on thermodynamics, concentration, chemical equilibrium and acid-base concepts;
4) Determine 3D structures of molecules, crystal structures of solids, properties of liquids and solids and differentiate between types of bonds.

2) The ability to follow, evaluate, interpret and apply the current developments and legislative amendments.
3) The ability to locate and use legal resources; to follow and evaluate current legislative amendments, legal science, and court decisions.
4) The ability to internalize social, scientific and ethical values while evaluating legal information.
5) The ability to recognize, examine and resolve legal issues with respect to general principles of law, de lege feranda and de lege lata; to take into consideration both national and international aspects of law; and to acknowledge the importance of personal conviction while making decisions.
6) The ability to critically analyze legal disputes, legislation, court decisions and different views in the legal science; to form his/her own opinions; to detect legal lacuna and suggest alternative solutions.
7) The ability to understand issues regarding different fields of law; to characterize and propose solutions to complex issues arising from legal practice.
8) The ability to participate in and organize legal projects and activities as a socially responsible individual; to put his/her legal knowledge and skill to use efficiently (in the public or private sector).
9) The ability to use a foreign language at least on a B2 Level on the European Language Portfolio, to follow legal developments and communicate with colleagues in that language; to use computer software and information and communication technologies necessary in the law field at an Advanced Level of the European Computer Driving License.
10) Adoption of a positive approach to the concept of lifelong learning.
11) The ability to understand the development, evolution, and problems of the society and to contribute to the solution of these problems by legal methods.
12) The ability to understand the structure, organization, and functioning of law on the national and international level; to contribute to the development thereof.
