Chemistry - Chemistry for Engineers

Catalog description

This one semester course is designed for students in the School of Engineering who are not required to take additional chemistry courses at the college level. In this integrated lecture and laboratory course, students will learn to predict properties of substances based on their molecular structure, to describe phases of matter and quantify changes among them, and to analyze chemical equations and equilibria in the context of acid-base and redox chemistry. Technical communication and experimental design are also emphasized. Prerequisite: Must have completed a course in high school chemistry and be eligible for MATH 115 (or have Departmental consent). Students not admitted to the School of Engineering must receive permission from instructor. CHEM 110 and CHEM 150 cannot both be taken for credit. Satisfies: Goal 3 Natural Sciences (GE3N) , Lab and Field Experiences (LFE) , Natural and Physical Sciences (NPS) , BA Quantitative Reasoning (QR)
