1.     Module Description:

This module for Process Engineering students focuses on fundamentals of General Chemistry, including states of matter, atoms, ions and molecules, chemical calculations, and fundamentals of Organic Chemistry, which support the chemistry modules. The module helps students not only to understand chemistry but also to discover connections between chemistry and other sciences and technology. In order to develop critical thinking skills, the module features student-centered active and collaborative classroom activities and inquiry-based laboratory and media projects. Students learn best when they build on past experience, relate what they are learning to things that are relevant to them, have direct "hands-on" experience, construct their own knowledge in collaboration with other students and teachers, and communicate their results effectively. This module begins the process of helping students to develop these generic skills necessary for scientific study.
