CHM-2000 General Chemistry for Engineering

Credits 4
Calculus-based class designed for students who wish to have a highly technical understanding of chemistry for application design. In CHM 2000 you will be provided with the essential application-based background to understand materials, fluids, and gases working from atomic models up to the macroscopic level. This course will develop and broaden your understanding of matter, energy, and physical properties. Traditional general chemistry topics will be covered in a technically detailed fashion. Additional topics will include bonding, reactions, changes of states, equilibrium, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, kinetics, and nuclear chemistry. Practical skills will be developed such that you will be able to predict and describe in appropriate technical detail the properties of a chemical system along with modern materials such as polymers and semiconductors and with modern devices such as fuel cells and batteries.
Prerequisite(s): MAT-2410 and EGR-1010 with “C” or higher. Students may not receive credit for CHM 2000 if they have received credit for any of the following CHM-1010 /CHM-1020 /CHM-1030.
3 class/3 lab/1 rec hours.
