Inorganic Chemistry for Engineers (CENG0014)

Aims:

To provide engineering students with a theoretical and practical understanding of the basic concepts of inorganic chemistry, including i) what are molecules; ii) how do different molecules react with each other; iii) how does one need to run those reactions on an industrial scale.

Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of this module, the students should:

Have an understanding of atomic and molecular structure in the context of the periodic table and underlying chemical bonds;
	Understand the role of acids, bases and ions in the aqueous solution and determine the acidity of a chemical;
	Calculate redox potential of a given reaction, understand the basic principles of electrochemical devices, and identify their energy efficiency;
	Be familiar with most of the common elements and their compounds;
	Know how to use those compounds in reactions;
	Translate a chemical reaction into an industrial reaction
Synopsis:

Atoms: mass, isotopes and structures
	Molecules: bonds and structures
	Acids, Bases and ions
	Oxidation and reduction
	Elements: a map of periodic table

Dissertation: Work Placement Route (CCME0071)

The Dissertation: Work Placement module provides students with a supportive and informative programme of presentations, seminars, student-led presentations, and individual tutorials in which they are encouraged to consider and discuss methodological issues as well as specific content pertaining to the development of their Dissertation. In relation to the Work Placement project/portfolio students will develop and employ skills involving individual responsibility, team-working and problem-solving. They will have first-hand experience in assisting with project realization at varying points and making comparisons between practice in institutions. Students are required to submit a dissertation of 14,000 words plus a Work Placement Report (project/portfolio) (6,000 words equivalent).
