Organisation and examination
Teaching in the second semester
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
This second course aims at pursuing presenting general chemistry in relation with the different fields of engineering.
It covers the following topics:
- Ionic and solubility equilibria
- Redox equilibria - Electrochemistry
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- understand general chemistry theoretical concepts;
- use those concepts to solve problems;
- apply those concepts to explain experimental observations and results;
- conduct experiments in team correctly and analyze results.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Basic notions of mathematics, physics and chemistry from secondary school.
Course CHIM9272-2 - Chemistry 1
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is composed of theory sessions, interactive exercises sessions and laboratories sessions. Those sessions are complementary.
Theory sessions introduce new concepts which are illustrated with numerous examples of chemistry practical applications.
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.
At the end of the semester, a questions and answers session is organized. It brings an additional opportunity for students to asks all useful questions related to theory and exercises.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Face-to-face
Recommended or required readings
Notes and slides related to lectures, exercises and laboratories sessions are distributed by the AEES students organization. They are also available on eCampus.
Assessment methods and criteria
Work during laboratories sessions and laboratories reports correspond to a note with a weight of 15% in the final note.
Participation in laboratories sessions and reports delivery is compulsory to participate in tests in May/June.
Written test is organized in May/June with weight of 85% in the final note.
Written test only in August/September (retakes, 100% of the final note).
The various tests focus on problems and understanding of concepts.
Work placement(s)
Organizational remarks
Second quadrimestre.
Theory lessons as well as exercises sessions are organized in an amphitheatre with the whole group of students.
During exercises sessions, students let rows free between them to allow instructors go around and help students individually to solve problems (cf.section "Planned learning activities and teaching methods").
Laboratories sessions are organized with small groups of 20 to 25 students.
