Syllabus
Anna University Degree , BE (EEE) Syllabus - 2004 Regulation : Semester No. 01 ,CY1101 Chemistry I
(Common to all branches of Engineering and Technology)
• To develop a sound knowledge of theoretical and modern technological aspects of chemistry.
• To enable the student to correlate the theoretical principles with application oriented studies
OBJECTIVES
• Should be conversant with the language of thermodynamics, electrochemistry, spectroscopy, surface chemistry to solve simple problems related to different industrial processes.
• The knowledge gained will be a prerequisite for the application oriented topics to be pursued in the later semesters.
