expected to be able to understand the most
important and relevant concepts used in
chemistry-related fields and to apply the
facts, concepts and models of chemistry
appropriately in engineering.

Course contents

The lectures will cover the following topics:
Molecules and compounds
Chemical Reactions and Quantities
Introduction to Solutions and Aqueous Reactions
Intermolecular Forces
Phase Diagrams
Electrochemistry and Corrosion

The classroom calculation exercises and
laboratory
exercises will cover the same topics as the
lectures.
