Prerequisites and co-requisites
For the lectures in period 2: no prerequisites
For the lab exercises in period 4: Laboratory
safety for engineers or Introduction to
University Studies (2017-18 or earlier)
Additional information
The lectures and theoretical exercises will be
held onine in Zoom.
The lab exercises are scheduled for period 4.
They will be held in small groups and comply
with guidelines for safe working. Alternative
tasks may be allocated to students unable to
come to Arcada for the lab exercises.
Recommended or required reading
Lecture material provided in itslearning.
Much of this course is based upon three
textbooks Tro's "Chemistry: Structure and
properties" (Pearson), Shackelford's
"Introduction to materials science and
engineering" (Pearson) and Callister's
"Materials science and engineering" (Wiley).
