Catalogue data
| Abstract | This is a general chemistry course aimed at first-year bachelor students in the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering. |
| Learning objective | The aims of the course are: 1) To provide a thorough understanding of the basic principles of chemistry and its application, 2) To develop an understanding of the atomic and molecular nature of matter and of the chemical reactions that describe its transformations, and 3) To emphasize areas considered most relevant in an engineering context. |
| Content | Electronic structure of atoms, chemical bonding, molecular geometry and bonding theories, intermolecular forces, gases, thermodynamics, chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, equilibria, liquids and solutions, acids and bases, redox- and electrochemistry. |
| Lecture notes | The instructor's lecture notes will be available prior to every lecture and can be downloaded from Moodle. |
| Literature | The course is based on "Chemistry: The Central Science" by Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy, Woodward, and Stoltzfus. Pearson, 15th Edition in SI units (global edition). |
Performance assessment

Performance assessment as a semester course | |
| In examination block for | Bachelor's Degree Programme in Mechanical Engineering 2010; Version 24.02.2022 (Examination Block) Bachelor's Degree Programme in Mechanical Engineering 2022; Version 07.11.2024 (First Year Examination Block A) |
| ECTS credits | 4 credits |
| Examiners | D. J. Norris |
| Type | session examination |
| Language of examination | English |
| Repetition | The performance assessment is offered every session. Repetition possible without re-enrolling for the course unit. |
| Mode of examination | written 120 minutes |
| Additional information on mode of examination | The final note of each student will be determined from: 120-Minute Final Session Examination: 100% The exam is "closed book" and "closed notes." Each student will be allowed to bring a standard scientific calculator. An announcement will be made before the exam begins whether this calculator will be necessary. Devices with internet access and mini computers are not allowed. In addition, during the semester, weekly exercise series (problem sets as learning tasks) will be assigned and collected. Three of these assignments will be selected at random and graded pass/fail. If a student passes 2 of these 3 graded problem sets, they will receive a 0.25 bonus on their grade for the final exam. |
| Written aids | Students may use one A4 sheet of paper (“cheat” sheet) that includes any information that they consider useful for the exam (both sides). Printing, scanning, and copying is allowed. Students can collaborate to make their cheat sheets or use sheets provided by AMIV or the course instructors. A periodic table of the elements will also be provided to each student with the exam, along with other useful tables. |
| If the course unit is part of an examination block, the credits are allocated for the successful completion of the whole block. This information can be updated until the beginning of the semester; information on the examination timetable is binding. | |
