Course description
This course is one of the introductions to Engineering World involving Biomedical Engineering.
Every engineering deals with materials. The nature of life is understood in the framework of material science. Chemistry is a powerful theory to classify systematically a tremendous amount of knowledge on the material world. For the students who are not major in chemistry, the series of lectures show the tyipical topics of chemistry by including a number of physical viewpoints at chemical phenomena.
Expected Learning
We aim to have an ability of thinking chemical phenomena, not just to put chemical terminologies into your memory. So it is indispesible to participate in every class, to listen to the lecture, and to try to understand it.
See the Curriculum maps.

10th class. What is the state of solution?
11th class. Oxidation and reduction.
12th class. Chemical analysis.
13th class. Physics of chemical reaction.
14th class. Stimulation and transformation in biological systems.
15th class. What is chemistry?
Prerequisites
Students major in biomedical engineering are requested to have a basic way of thinking of chemistry. All freshmen students in biomedical engineering are welcome.
Students are expected to have the standard amount of time to prepare
for and review the lecture as specified by the University.
Required Text(s) and Materials
Not specified. Summary of power-point slides presented in a lecture will be provided for every lecture.
References
Any textbooks of "Chemistry" and "General Chemistry" can be used as your references.
Assessment/Grading
(1) Examination at the end of semester, (2) a few reports, and (3) short quizzes for every classes. The weight of evaluation of (1)/(2)/(3) is approximately 3/1/1.
Message from instructor(s)
Chemistry is systematic theory in collaboration with physics on the material world. Chemistry can offer a way of qualitative, and sometimes quantitative, understanding for physically unsolved phyenomena.
