 COURSE INTRODUCTION

This 3-unit course in the Chemical Engineering curriculum provides students with core
concepts of chemistry that are important in the practice of engineering profession. It covers
the Principles of General Inorganic Chemistry including Thermochemistry: energy flow and
chemical change; Electrochemistry: chemical change and electrical work; Nuclear
Reactions and their applications; Engineering Materials; The Chemistry of the Environment:
water, atmosphere, and soil; and Chemical Safety.

Each unit in this course is designed using the 5E constructivist model of learning, developed
by Rodger Bybee, that encourages students to engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and
evaluate their knowledge of topics covered therein. It means that at the end of each unit,
each module, and the course as a whole, you will be assessed on your progress in attaining
the course learning outcomes. Outcomes-based education dictates that only when you can
demonstrate the course learning outcomes by the end of this course, can you be given a
passing mark.

COURSE STUDY GUIDE

The key to successfully finish this course lies in your hands. This module was prepared for you
to learn diligently, intelligently, and independently. Aside from meeting the content and
performance standards of this course in accomplishing the given activities, you will be able
to learn other invaluable learning skills which you will be very proud of as a responsible
learner. The following guides and house rules will help you further to be on track and to say
at the end of the module, “I did well!”

1. Schedule and manage your time to read and understand every part of the module.
Read it over and over until you understand the point.
2. Study how you can manage to do the activities of this module in consideration of your
other modules from another course. Be very conscious with the study schedule. Post it
on conspicuous place so that you can always see. Do not ask about questions that are
already answered in the guide.
3. If you did not understand the readings and other tasks, re-read. Focus. If this will not work,
engage all possible resources.

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited.
 4. Do not procrastinate. Remember, it is not others who will be short-changed if you will not
do your work on time. It will be you.
5. Before you start doing your tasks, read and understand the assessment tools provided.
Do not settle with low standards, target the highest standards in doing your assigned
tasks. I know you can.
6. You are free to browse and read the different units of the module even prior to doing
the tasks in each unit. However, you need to ensure that you will not miss any part of the
module and you will not miss to accomplish every activity in every unit as scheduled.
7. If needed, do not hesitate to keep in touch with me through any available means.
Remember, if there is a will, there is a way.
8. In answering all the assessment and evaluation activities, write legibly. It will help if you
not write your answers in the module if you are not yet sure of your answers. You must
remember that all activities in the module are academic activities, which mean that
the relevant academic conventions apply. Think before your write.
a. Your answers should be composed of complete and grammatically correct
sentences. Do not use abbreviations and acronyms unless these are introduced in
the readings, and do not write in text-speak. Avoid writing in all caps.
b. In the self-processed discussions, write appropriate and well-thought arguments
and judgments. Avoid merely approving or disapproving with what is expressed in
the material. You need to support your inputs in the discussions from reliable
information or from empirical observation. Do not write uninformed opinions.
c. Do not write lengthy answers. Stick to the point. Be clear what your main point is and
express it as concisely as possible. DO not let your discussion stray. Make use of
spaces in the module as your guide.
d. Quote your sources if there are answering all the activities.
9. Lastly, you are the learner; hence you do the module on your own. Your family members
and friends at home will support you but the activities must be done by you. As Louisian,
we always need to demonstrate our core values of competence, creativity, social
involvement and Christian spirit.

 EVALUATION

Formative Assessment
▪ You are required to answer the self-assessment activities. The self-assessment activities
are designed as a review management tool to prepare you for the graded quizzes and
periodical examinations. The results will also serve as a guide to the facilitator to identify
students who will need more reinforcement and assistance. The self-assessment activities
are posted so you can take it anytime within the scheduled days assigned for each unit.

Summative Assessment
➢ Prelim Exam: Module 1
➢ Midterm Exam: Module 2
➢ Final Exam: Module 3 – Module 4
▪ It is expected that the students will show their complete solution in an organized manner
and state all simplifying assumptions as will be instructed in the general directions for
each activity.
▪ The quizzes and periodical examinations which are embedded in the module must be
answered guided by the given evaluation tool. If needed, the facilitator will call you by
your phone for further validation and verification purposes after checking your papers.
The quizzes and periodical examination shall be of the same coverage with the online
correspondence.
