Fundamentals of College Chemistry is an introduction to the chemistry discipline. It is an indispensable public basic course for most engineering majors in universities, and it is also a necessary basic course for all-round education in high engineering education. It describes the scientific facts of chemistry and explanations of theoretical chemistry, which interspersed with each other. It concisely explain the most basic concepts, theoretical principles and methods in the current chemistry discipline. Students' chemistry literacy and chemical thinking are cultivated effectively. It provides students with the necessary and basic chemistry knowledge and skills for subsequent professional courses.
As a basic natural science course for non-chemistry and chemical engineering majors, its audience is very wide, and the target audience varies greatly. It is necessary to continuously reform and innovate content and teaching methods, which is beneficial to undergraduate innovation ability and independent learning ability,and meets the needs of undergraduate individualized learning.
It is the demand of time for scientific construct of a new teaching model for general chemistry in engineering colleges, promoting the overall improvement of students' abilities, and integration, optimization, and innovation of the basic curriculum system for new engineering qualified personnel training.
1.By studying the basic knowledge of material structure foundation, thermochemistry and
energy, basic principles of chemical reaction, aqueous solution chemistry, electrochemistry and metal corrosion, basic knowledge closely related to engineering practice, et al.u ndergraduates can understand the basic theory and framework of modern chemistry.
2.By improving the knowledge system, undergraduates can use chemical theories, viewpoints and methods to analyze and solve chemical problems involved in life, production and scientific research.
3.With the penetration of dialectical materialism philosophy, undergraduates can cultivate creative thinking and critical thinking.
