CHEM 1352: General Chemistry for Engineers

University of North Carolina, Charlotte

A comprehensive introduction to the chemical principles for students planning to pursue advanced courses and careers in civil and environmental engineering, emphasizing the critical role of chemistry in solving environmental challenges. Topics include chemical reactions, equilibrium, thermodynamics, kinetics, and electrochemistry, with a focus on their application to environmental systems and civil engineering materials. Students will explore the chemistry of natural and engineered systems, including water, air, and soil. Students may attempt CHEM 1352 a total of two times. Withdrawing from the course after the Add/Drop deadline constitutes an attempt, as does receiving any letter grade. Three lecture hours, one Problem Session hour, and one laboratory period of three hours per week.
