Chemistry For Engineering Students

Enhanced with a remarkable number of new problems and applications, the Second Edition of CHEMISTRY FOR ENGINEERS provides a concise, thorough, and relevant introduction to chemistry that prepares students for further study in any engineering field. Updated with even more questions and applications specifically geared toward engineering students, this edition emphasizes the connection between molecular properties and observable physical properties and the connections between chemistry and other subjects studied by engineering students, such as mathematics and physics. This new edition is now fully supported by OWL, the most widely-used online learning system for chemistry.

Excerpt from Industrial Chemistry: For Engineering Students The purpose of this text is to describe from the standpoint of chemistry, the more common materials used in the various branches of engineering. Emphasis is accordingly laid upon the occurrence, the mode of manufacture, the properties, and, to a limited extent, the uses of the various materials. The text is an elaboration of the author's lecture notes used during the last eight years in the courses of industrial chemistry for second year engineering students. The compilations of data have been taken from various sources, many of which are indicated in the footnotes. The work presupposes a knowledge of elementary physics and general chemistry. By a selection of suitable subject matter, it is hoped to give the prospective engineer a working knowledge of the chemistry of the materials and processes with which he will deal and the ability necessary to interpret chemical analyses and apply them in the preparation of specifications and in the pursuit of experimental research which now so frequently accompanies the solution of engineering problems. The topics of greatest interest and importance to engineers, such as fuels and combustion, clay products and cement, are treated quite fully; other topics arc necessarily dealt with more briefly than in the larger text-books but in all cases the bibliographies at the ends of the chapters will guide the reader who desires to go farther. These bibliographies have been compiled with care and brought closely down to date; it is believed that they will be useful to practicing chemists and engineers as well as to students.

Excerpt from Practical Chemistry for Engineering Students One of the practical difficulties encountered by the teacher in carrying out modern schemes of technical education arises from the failure on the part of the students preparing for some particular profession or industry to realise the importance of subjects which they regard as being outside their own province. This difficulty is experienced very generally; it constantly arises, for example, in connection with the professional training of such classes of students as those preparing for medicine or pharmacy, or for the various branches of engineering. It is to this last group of students that the present little work by Mr. Arthur J. Hale especially appeals. Those who are responsible for laying down the broad principles of training for the mechanical engineer have wisely included Chemistry as an essential subject. The leaders of the engineering profession both in this country and abroad are unanimous in urging the importance for engineers of a sound knowledge of at least the general rudiments of chemical science. Such knowledge can only be acquired during the early years of training, and it naturally falls to the duty of the chemical staff in our Technical Schools and Colleges to carry out this part of the students' curriculum.
