| 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 CompetencesUpon 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. |
