Assumption UniversityFaculty of EngineeringCourse Outline 1/2020

Faculty Vision:Providing opportunities for intellectual growth in the context of an engineering discipline for

attainment of professional competence, and for the development of a sense of the social context of technology.

Faculty Mission:1. To produce intellectually and academically competent graduates capable of further education in the

same discipline.2. To produce ethically and professionally responsible graduates knowledgeable and capable of

contributing engineering expertise and technical know how in the workplace for the country’s advancement in industrial progress.

Course Title : BG 1108 General Chemistry

Lecturer : A. Kyi Kyi Tin

Objectives : 1. The main objective is to provide a solid foundation in General Chemistry for the Engineering students in conformity with the guide line for chemistry suggested by Council of Engineers (C.O.E.). Special emphasis on fundamental concepts, principles and chemical reactions so that student will acquire appropriate knowledge of chemistry to pursue engineering courses.

2. This course will also help students to develop critical thinking skills and formulating strategies for solving problems in chemistry.

Method of Teaching : Lecture

Time Allocation : Lecture 3 hrs./week. Total 45 hrs.

Marks Allocation : Quizzes 10%Workshops & Mini Projects 15%Mid – term Exam. 25%Final Exam. 50%Total 100%

Attendance : Punctuality is required. The university dress-code regulations must be strictly followed. Students with attendance less than 80% are not permitted to take part in the mid-term and final examinations. Successful completion of both examinations is mandatory requirement for the evaluation of a student’s grade.
