CHIM0603-1  Chemistry
Duration :  50h Th, 40h Pr, 15h Labo.
Credits/ECTS :  
Bachelor in engineering sciences, civil engineer orientation (Bachelor in engineering sciences, civil engineer orientation), 1st year9
Holder(s) :  Benoît Heinrichs
Language :  French language
Course contents :  The course is centered on two main themes: the structure of matter and its chemical transformation. It covers the following topics:
  • Basic notions
  • Nuclear and electronic structures of atoms
  • Chemical equilibrium
  • Acid-Base equilibria
  • Ionic and solubility equilibria
  • Redox equilibria - Electrochemistry
  • Chemical kinetics
  • Chemical bonding and materials
  • Organic chemistry and polymers
Course objective :  The course aims at presenting general chemistry in relation with the different fields of engineering. It begins with a reminder of the fundamentals of chemistry in order to bring students from secondary school to a common initial level of knowledge.
Prerequisites :  Basic notions of mathematics, physics and chemistry from secondary school.
Workshops :  The aim of exercises sessions is to lead students to master the subject through problems solving. During those sessions, a problem is first solved and explained in details. Then, students solve successive problems by themselves with the help of instructors. Laboratories sessions aim at helping students to understand theoretical notions through experimental manipulations that illustrate, at the scale of a laboratory for students, industrial applications.
Organization :  Lectures: 50h - Exercises: 40h - Laboratories: 15h. First and second quadrimestres.
Written notes :  Notes related to lectures, exercises and laboratories sessions are distributed by the AEES students organization.
Assessment :  Written test in January. A note higher than or equal to 10/20 gives exemption for the final test. Notes less than 10/20 are discarded.

Written and oral tests in May/June.

Work in laboratories sessions and laboratories reports are taken into account for the final grade.

Written test in August/September (retakes).
