1.  Course Description 

This Applied Chemistry course is designed to learn to use different materialswithout causing any wastage or pollution. Thus, helping the engineers in handling a wide range of materials in the right way. There are 118 known elements available, from them this course will help to choose the best fit in solving engineering problems.

 

1. General Objectives

The general objectives of the course are:

• To focus on the general application of chemical principles to analyses and evaluation of engineering problemssuch as bydevelopingengineering materials 
• To make students aware about the proper and safe handling of engineering materials to protect oneself and to the environment 

 

1. Methods of Instruction

General trend of the instruction for the class delivery are marker pen white board, power point, group discussion and practical observations and laboratory activities.

1. EvaluationSystem and Students’ Responsibilities

 

Evaluation System 

The internal evaluation of a student may consist of assignments, attendance, test-exams, term-exams, lab reports and projects etc. The tabular presentation of the internal evaluation is as follows:

 

External Evaluation	Marks	Internal Evaluation	Weight	Marks
Semester-End examination	50	Theory		30
		Attendance and Class Participation	10%
		Assignments	20%
		Presentations/Quizzes	10%
		Term exam	60%
		Practical		20
		Attendance and Class Participation	10%
		Lab Report/ Project Report	20%
		Practical Exam/ Project Work	40%
		Viva	30%
		Total Internal		50
Full Marks: 50 + 50 = 100

 

Student Responsibilities

Each student must secure at least 45% marks in internal evaluation with 80% attendance in the class in order to appear in the Semester End Examination. Failing to get such score will be given NOT QUALIFIED (NQ) and the student will not be eligible to appear the Semester-End Examinations. Students are advised to attend all the classes, formal exams, test, etc. and complete all the assignments within the specified time period. Students are required to complete all the requirements defined for the completion of the course.
