Chemistry I

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  The Curricular Unit "Chemistry I" is within the scope of the basic formation/education of the "Work Safety Engineering" course. Much of the risks are associated to chemical reactions (combustion, acid-base, redox, among others). Therefore, the knowledge of basic Chemistry concepts is essential to the comprehesion of this type of risks.
• ProgramaProgramme

  1. Introductory Concepts 2. Chemical Reactions. Stoichiometric calculations. 3. Study Solutions. Expressions of concentration. Applications. 4. Study of Gases. Their applications.
• ObjectivosObjectives

  O1. Acquire fundamental knowledge of Chemistry to enable students to understand the constitution of matter and their interaction processes with other units relevant to the course curriculum; O2. Encourage habits of scientific reasoning; O3. To promote a critical spirit avoiding the automatic acceptance of results; O4. Promote the work of research and systematization of information; Specific objective: O5. Knowing the chemical elements, their connections and the forces involved; O6. Know the main types of inorganic chemical reactions; O7. Understand, capture and handle the qualitative and quantitative information resulting from the chemical equation; The skills developed are: C1. Use scientific knowledge as a tool for interpreting reality; C2. Intervene in a real-accurately base the decisions on sound premises; C3. To develop self-learning

• MetodologiaMethodology

  In the Curricular Unit "Chemistry I" some innovative metholologies will be used, namely the "reversed/inverted class" - the students carry out a previous research aabout the concepts to be learned before they are developed by the lecturer/teacher (i.e. Acid-Base Reaction). Latter, a small discussion about the theme with tha lacturer will take place. Another innovative methodology to be applied is the "Project-Based Learning" , where the students propose themselves a reaction to carry out in the Laboratory classes to apply the knowledge acquired during the Theoretical and Practical classes (i.e. "Acid-Base" titration).
