Course Objectives
- To provide a basic understanding of chemistry to the first year engineering students.
Course Outcomes
This course aims to provide a basic understanding of chemistry <br />Students will understand how fundamental chemical principles affect atomic, electronic and thermodynamic properties of matter. <br />Students would be able to relate basic chemical principles with materials used in daily life. <br />Students will be able to identify the relationship between chemistry and industry.
