Lecture 01 - Introduction

This document is the introduction to a chemistry lecture for engineers. It defines science, engineering, and technology, explaining that science pursues knowledge, engineering applies science, and technology creates products. It then defines chemistry as the study of matter, its properties, structures, changes, and energy involved. The lecture will cover topics like the macroscopic and microscopic scales, different branches of chemistry, and why chemistry is important for engineers to understand in order to apply scientific knowledge and effectively solve problems.

Science vs. Engineering vs. Technology

• Science: to study of the physical world (pursuit of


knowledge)

• Engineering: to apply scientific knowledge to design


processes, structures or equipment.

• Technology: to create products that effectively solve


problems and improve human life.

What is Chemistry?
Chemistry?
Chemistry is the science to study
• the properties, composition, and structure of matter,
• the changes matter undergoes, and
• the energy liberated or absorbed during those changes.

Why chemistry?
1. A requirement for your major
2. Chemistry directly affects our lives (chemistry
everywhere)
How does the human body work? How does aspirin cure our headaches? Do
steroids enhance athletic ability? Is table salt poisonous?
We are all chemically dependent (e.g., constant supply of oxygen, water, glucose
and a multitude of other chemicals)

3. A preparation for a good life

Through understanding of chemistry, you gain a powerful appreciation for


just how rich and extraordinary the world really is (Intrinsic)

Understanding chemistry makes you a more informed citizen – it allows


you to engage with many of the issues of our day (extrinsic)
• Is carbon monoxide (CO) harmful to our health?
• Does aluminum production affect our environment?
• Does hairspray cause holes in the ozone layer that will lead to global
warming?
