Learning outcomes	Objectives: Standardize chemical fundaments for application in engineering. Knowing the chemical concepts to understand and justify the applied phenomena. Recognize the basic concepts of chemistry and learn to apply their contents. Skills: Identify the chemical compounds. Know the differences between the types of chemical reactions. Determine energy capacity in chemical reactions. Understand the electronic structure of atoms. Analyze the chemical bonds between atoms. Realize the effect of properties of liquid, solid and solutions Understand and nominate organic compounds and realize the difference of compounds due to the presence of different functional groups in organic molecules. Analyze the effect of corrosion on the materials. Learn to relate the transmitted concepts and apply them in the disciplines of later years.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria	The teaching methodology in this UC focuses on the student and is organized as follows: theoretical classes, theoretical-practical classes and laboratory classes. In theoretical classes, the syllabus will be taught, in theoretical-practical classes, application problems will be solved and in laboratory classes, experiments will be carried out with the aim of applying the syllabus to real cases and also learning the basic safety rules in a laboratory. The assessment of this UC will be continuous, carrying out partial tests, evaluating problem resolutions and in laboratory classes, an assessment will be made of how practical work is carried out and through the analysis of the report prepared by the students.
Language	Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
