252-0832-00L | Computer Science I | O | 4 credits | 2V + 2U | M. Fischer, R. Sasse | |
Abstract | The course covers the fundamental concepts of computer programming with a focus on systematic algorithmic problem solving. Taught language is C++. No programming experience is required. | |||||
Objective | Primary educational objective is to learn programming with C++. When successfully attended the course, students have a good command of the mechanisms to construct a program. They know the fundamental control and data structures and understand how an algorithmic problem is mapped to a computer program. They have an idea of what happens "behind the scenes" when a program is translated and executed. Secondary goals are an algorithmic computational thinking, understanding the possibilities and limits of programming and to impart the way of thinking of a computer scientist. | |||||
Content | The course covers fundamental data types, expressions and statements, (Limits of) computer arithmetic, control statements, functions, arrays, structural types and pointers. The part on object orientation deals with classes, inheritance and polymorphy, simple dynamic data types are introduced as examples. In general, the concepts provided in the course are motivated and illustrated with algorithms and applications. | |||||
Lecture notes | A script written in English will be provided during the semester. The script and slides will be made available for download on the course web page. | |||||

151-0909-00L | Chemistry | O | 4 credits | 2V + 2U | D. J. Norris | |
Abstract | This is a general chemistry course aimed at first-year bachelor students in the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering. | |||||
Objective | The aims of the course are: 1) To provide a thorough understanding of the basic principles of chemistry and its application, 2) To develop an understanding of the atomic and molecular nature of matter and of the chemical reactions that describe its transformations, and 3) To emphasize areas considered most relevant in an engineering context. | |||||
Content | Electronic structure of atoms, chemical bonding, molecular geometry and bonding theories, intermolecular forces, gases, thermodynamics, chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, equilibria, liquids and solutions, acids and bases, redox- and electrochemistry. | |||||
Lecture notes | The instructor's lecture notes will be available prior to every lecture and can be downloaded from Moodle. | |||||
Literature | The course is based on "Chemistry: The Central Science" by Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy, Woodward, and Stoltzfus. Pearson, 15th Edition in SI units (global edition). |
