Course Description

Chemistry is one of the basic sciences. The focus of chemistry is to learn the characteristics and structure of all matter of which the universe is composed. Therefore, chemistry is indispensable for all students acquiring higher education in all disciplines, making this course very important for all members of this faculty of science and engineering.
This course is designed as an overview of basic chemistry and will be open to students who did not take high school chemistry or who have a weak background in chemistry. In order to acquire a better understanding of the lectures, many exercises, as well as short tests, will be provided throughout the course. Although this lesson is mainly lecture type, short discussion or group discussion of question form is scheduled as appropriate for exercise problems or contents of lecture within lecture time.
In addition, this lecture aims at content that can be understood even by students who did not take chemistry at high school
In this lecture, you can acquire knowledge and ability on DP3 of the Department of Aerospace Engineering and the Department of Biosciences.

Course Objectives

The ultimate goal of this lecture is that students will have gained a fundamental understanding of basic chemistry and will have the background necessary to take Chemistry 1 in the second semester.
(1) By understanding the concept of the periodic table, you can acquire the relationship between elements and the periodic properties.
(2) By understanding the structure of the atom, you can acquire the concept of substances.
(3) By understanding the concept of the amount of substance (mol), you can acquire the ability on the chemical stoichiometry.

Grading Policy

(1) Attendance confirmation is taken in each time, and students who do not attend more than 2/3 classes are not allowed to take the regular exam.
