This course introduces fundamental principles of chemistry with a specific focus on their applications in engineering science. It provides a multi-perspective approach to understanding matter, covering a range of topics including solutions, reaction kinetics, equilibria, acids, bases, and thermodynamics. The curriculum is designed to enhance scientific problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and the synthesis of concepts. Students learn to describe and explain chemical systems from macroscopic, particle, and symbolic perspectives. The course emphasizes the ability to solve complex, multi-step quantitative problems and apply chemical principles to natural phenomena. The overall goal is to equip future engineers with a strong conceptual and practical foundation in chemistry.
