Class Chemistry

The Curricultar Unit of Chemistry has as main objective to provide basic knowledge in Chemistry, essential to a future Civil Engineer as well as to provide bases for subsequent UCs in the degree in Civil Engineering.

Not applicable

1) Matter. 2) Quantum theory and the electronic structure of atoms. 3) Periodic relationships between the elements. 4) Chemical bonding. 5) Stoichiometry: chemical equations, quantitative chemical relationsips. Reactions in aqueous solutions. 6) The gaseous state. 7) Basics on organic chemistry. 

In this Curricular Unit, several laboratory activities will be carried out which, despite not being, in themselves, contemplated as innovative teaching methodologies, allow the consolidation of contents and the acquisition of practical skills. These activities allow the application of innovative teaching methodologies such as Problem Based Learning, which will be applied at the UC. Additionally, it is intended to use methodologies such as the Flipped Classroom.
