Engineering Chemistry: Role of Chemistry Design Engineering Materials Solve Problems
Introduction
The Engineering Chemistry course for undergraduate students is designed to :
strengthen the fundamentals of chemistry and then build an interface of theoretical concepts
This course highlights the role of chemistry in the field of engineering. The lucid
explanation of the topics will help students understand the fundamental concepts and apply
them to design engineering materials and solve problems related to them.
Course Objectives:
To make an article
1)choice of material
2)designing it appropriately to meet the specific needs, and reduce corrosion etc
3)cost effective
4)environment friendly
Conclude:
This syllabus can bridge the gap between application directed research serving the needs
of engineers and the more fundamental studies on new materials like nano-composites,
instrumentation and solar energy. In the long run, an effort should be taken to support
interdisciplinary links to biochemistry and life sciences.
