Instruction content/structure
Winter Semester:

This course imparts fundamental knowledge about chemistry including:

  1. General principles in chemistry
  2. Systematics, properties, and structures of matter
  3. Periodic Table of Elements
  4. Principles of chemical bonds
  5. Fundamental reaction types and reaction principles
  6. Principles of chemical structure-reactivity relationships
  7. Nomenclature of compounds

The knowledge acquired in the course is deepened and consolidated through practical experiments.

Sommer Semester:

This course imparts fundamental knowledge about chemistry including:

  1. Introduction into the analysis of matter e.g., molecular compounds
  2. Introduction into Industrial Chemistry
  • Basic chemicals (inorganic compounds, organic compounds, macromolecular compounds)
  • Manufacturing processes
  • Current topics
  • Issues, risks and perspectives

The knowledge acquired in the course is deepened and consolidated through practical experiments.

Qualification objectives
Winter Semester:

This course provides an introduction for engineering students to industrial chemistry including subjects such as the structure of matter, the Periodic Table, properties and reactivity of chemical compounds. Equipping engineering students to be able to produce correct formulae and writing full balanced chemical equations. The students learn fundamental principles of common analysis methods. The students are introduced to current topics and problems in industrial chemistry. They are directed to explore different concepts in chemistry by applying engineering problem-solving approaches to open ended problems.
