Required Text: The textbook for the CHEM 1335 course is: Chemistry for Engineering Students (3rd or 4th Edition) by Brown and Holme (Cengage Learning). A loose leaf version of this textbook is available in local bookstores for a discounted price. The textbook can be purchased from either the bookstore or on-line. *Calculator Requirement: A non-programmable scientific calculator is required for the course. Suitable models include, but are not limited to, TI-30XS MultiView, TI-34 MultiView, TI-30X IIS, TI-30Xa, and TI-36X Pro. No cell phone, smartwatches, or graphing/programmable calculators will be permitted! • No Cell Phone Calculators will be permitted. Supplies: A non-programmable scientific calculator is required for the course. • OWLv2 online homework from Cengage Learning will be used for the completion of all homework assignments. Registration instructions will be provided soon in the class. 1 • A Turning Technologies account is required for this class. You can purchase a remote response pad at the bookstore for approximately $40. Alternately you can purchase a subscription that allows you to use a smartphone or tablet to submit your answers, but since this is the first year of this function this may be buggy. If you previously purchased a clicker, you can use the same clicker. All users will need to register for this course on-line and purchase a license to use the clicker (~$21 for a one- year license). Registration instructions are posted at the end of this syllabus. Laboratory: Concurrent registration in Chemistry 1141 is highly recommended.

This goal will be accomplished by the following learning objectives. Specifically, students will be able to: • Describe and interpret statements and questions concerning the forms and states of matter, the structure of the atom, arrangement of electrons, and how this relates to the organization of the periodic table. 2 • Demonstrate an understanding of the nature and types of chemical bonds and their implications for the structure and properties of engineering materials. • Apply the principles of gas theories and thermodynamics to the engineering analysis of heat engine cycles. • Apply the principles of stoichiometry, thermochemistry, kinetics and equilibrium in analyzing the industrial and environmental impacts of material synthesis and processing such as in the instance of the making and shaping of iron and steel products. • Apply the principles of acids and bases in industrial applications such as the analysis and prevention of scale formation in pipes and boilers. • Apply electrochemistry and redox concepts and reactions in resolving industrial problems such as those that involve various types of corrosion. • Demonstrate an understanding of nuclear chemistry in the context of industrial applications such as those that involve energy generation and environmental impact assessment. Special Needs: If you are a student with a disability who will require an accommodation(s) to participate in this course, please contact me as soon as possible. You will be asked to provide documentation from the Office of Disability Services. Failure to contact the Office of Disability Services in a timely manner may delay your accommodations. TRACS: A TRACS site will be used for this course. You can access TRACS at https://tracs.txstate.edu/portal/login or from the link on the Texas State homepage. Course information, announcements, learning goals, practice exams, keys to quizzes and exams, and the like, will be placed on the TRACS site. In order to access the site, you must have a valid Texas State username and password. If the site for this course does not appear on TRACS next to “My Workspace” at the top, click on “My Active Sites.” Grading: There are : - Four regular examinations = 60% (15% each) A cumulative final examination = 15% Quizzes = 10% Required homework = 10 % and Clicker = 5% (2.5% participation + 2.5% accuracy) The total possible are = 100 % The lowest exam score may be replaced by the final exam score (only if this benefits the student). The lowest quiz grade will be dropped. The lowest three participation grades will be dropped when averaging these for the participation grade. The minimum grading scale is given below. The grading scale may be adjusted at the end of the course to account for a low average. 3 90% − 100% A 80% − 89% B 70% − 79% C 60% − 69% D below 60% F or U Exams: There will be three regular exams given. The tentative dates for the exams are: Exam Exam Date Material Covered 1 Wednesday, September 25, 2019 Chapters 1-4 2 Wednesday, October 23, 2019 Chapters 5-7 3 Wednesday, November 13, 2019 Chapters 8-11 4 Wednesday, December 4, 2019 Chapters 12-13 5 Friday, December 13, 2019 Chapters 1-13 Any changes to these dates will be announced at least one week in advance. Make-up Exams. Make-up exams are not guaranteed. If prior notification is given arrangements to take the exam will be made. If an exam is missed it is the student’s responsibility to notify the professor as soon as possible. It may be possible to make up the exam within 24 hours if a suitable time and location can be found. If not, the missed exam score may be replaced by the final exam score (this will count as the replaced exam score as described in the grading policy). This may be done only one time during the semester. You will need to bring a #2 pencil, a non-programmable calculator, and your Texas State Student ID card for each examination. Calculators will not be provided. Smart phones, computers and other similar devices may not be used in lieu of a non- programmable calculator. Your Texas State ID number must be bubbled in on any Scantron used for any test or quiz. The Texas State ID card must be presented when turning in your exam to be graded. Quizzes: THERE ARE NO MAKE-UP QUIZZES. The first quiz will be given at the end of class on and will take ~10 minutes. Subsequent quizzes (usually 10-15 minutes in length) will be given periodically (see the class calendar for details). A total of 10 quizzes, will be given. The lowest quiz score will be dropped before the final quiz average is calculated. You will need to bring a No. 2 pencil and a non- programmable calculator to each quiz. Calculators will not be provided. Smart phones, computers and other similar devices may not be used in lieu of a non- programmable calculator. Homework: Online homework assignments (OWLV2) will be supplied by completed by Cengage.com. Registration for OWLV2 homework will be announced in the class. The lowest homework score will be dropped before the final homework average is calculated. The due dates for the homework assignments will be announced in class. Any modifications to the due dates will be announced in class and posted on TRACS. 4 All homework assignments must be submitted on-line. Printed out or e-mailed answers will not be graded. Due to potential complications with the OWLV2 homework learning platform, it is recommended that the homework assignments be completed and submitted for grading in advance of the due date. All questions concerning the OWLV2-homework MUST be directed to Cengage.com. NOTE: Late homework assignments will not be accepted under any circumstances. Students are encouraged to work together on these homework assignments; however, it is essential that each student learn the material thoroughly to prepare for exams and quizzes. Final Exam: The final exam is comprehensive and will be given at the following time: Section-1: Friday, Dec 13, 2019 8:00 – 10:30 AM Every student must take the final exam. Failure to take the final exam will result in an additional 15% reduction in your final grade calculation. The final exam is comprehensive. It consists of 70 multiple-choice test items, and has a 120 minute time limit.
