Course Description:
Examination of fundamental and applied aspects of chemistry, biology, and geochemistry. Fundamental principles will be coupled with analytical and computational skills essential for addressing crucial processes on human impact on the environment and urban infrastructure. Applications to the development of new materials and technologies will be covered in case studies. Students should come out with an appreciation of how understanding the fundamental concepts could facilitate the development of technologies to mitigate human impact on the environment.
Prerequisites:
Permission of Department
CHEM 135 Chemistry for Engineers
Course Goals:

  1. To provide a bridge for students to move from the fundamentals studied in first- and second-year math and basic science courses to introductory and upper level engineering courses, which apply those fundamentals.
  2. To provide students with an understanding of the basic principles and skills related to chemistry, biology, and geology that are expected to be common knowledge for an engineer and are necessary for problem solving in the various specialty areas of civil engineering.
  3. To provide students with sufficient skills and background knowledge in the basic sciences that they can pursue further study and work.
