CHM 114 General Chemistry for Engineers
4 college credits.
Have you ever wondered what’s inside your mobile phone case? Why aren't batteries lighter and have to be recharged? How many different colors can be shown on your computer screen? Or why glass shatters when you hit it with a hammer? These, along with other questions of how atoms and molecules combine to make macroscopic materials with desired properties, are at the heart of countless challenges addressed by chemists and engineers every day.
This course is not a standard introductory chemistry course. The course introduces general chemistry topics and explains directly how these concepts are related to engineering. You will develop the language and chemistry skills necessary to work as an engineer in a team with chemists. In this course, you will learn by doing, and you will be helped along the way with instant visual and audio feedback. You will simultaneously learn the language of chemistry and how to think like a chemist by exploring the chemistry embedded in engineering challenges.
MAT 170 Precalculus is strongly suggested as a prerequisite for success in this course.
This course is offered by Arizona State University. The ASU Syllabus Library may offer examples of past and present syllabi for this course.
