Introduction to measurement, units, and chemical nomenclature; atoms, molecules, and ions; chemical reactions and stoichiometry; thermochemistry; gas laws and kinetic molecular theory; electronic structure and periodic trends; chemical bonding, molecular geometry, and polarity; intermolecular forces, phase behavior, and the structure of liquids and solids (including modern materials); solutions and colligative properties; chemical kinetics; chemical equilibrium; acids, bases, and buffer systems; chemical thermodynamics (entropy and Gibbs energy); electrochemistry with emphasis on corrosion; and an introduction to the chemistry of life. Laboratory experiments reinforce these topics through hands on measurement, analysis, and reporting.

This course introduces the core principles, theoretical frameworks, and quantitative methods of chemistry, specifically tailored for engineering disciplines including Industrial Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Materials Science and Nanoengineering, and Molecular Biology Genetics and Bioengineering. The single-semester format emphasizes practical applications relevant to engineering practice.
The laboratory component develops essential experimental competencies through hands-on experience with analytical techniques, measurement methodologies, material property characterization, quantitative analysis procedures, and investigation of thermodynamic behavior in chemical systems.
