Learning Outcomes
Students of the specific course are expected to
• gain knowledge of basic concepts, principles and applications of modern experimental chemistry linked to chemical engineering
• develop their personal skills and judgment in basic knowledge of general, inorganic chemistry and chemistry of advanced materials chemistry at the experimental level
• understand the basic principles of chemistry and use them in experimental devices, processes and computational applications in chemical engineering
• formulate a critical understanding-thinking of the design and implementation of simple chemistry experiments, involving basic principles of chemistry, with practical application(s) in chemical engineering
• evaluate experimental data, write-compile laboratory reports and present results at the experimental level involving interpretations of phenomena and observations of basic principles of chemistry
