  • Introduction to Chemistry (30003)
    • תקציר הקורס:

    Abstract:

    What is matter? Measurements and moles; Gas laws; Atomic structure; Periodicity in the periodic table; The chemical bond; Oxidation-reduction reactions.
  • Polymers and Plastic Materials (30218)
    • תקציר הקורס:

    Abstract:

    It is hard to imagine the modern technological developments without the materials and products made of polymers. The newly made polymers have a strong impacts on manufacturing of advanced aircrafts, vehicles, medical implants, fiber optics, membranes building materials, packaging, furniture ornaments and many more essential products. The two courses of Polymers and Plastic Materials will qualify the students to be able to work and research in the fields of polymers and plastics.
  • Environment Transportation and Sustainability (30353)
    • תקציר הקורס:

    Abstract:

    The survival of the human race depends on the production of goods and services, transportation, and a continuous supply of energy. However, changes in the consumption patterns of human society present us with a dilemma: how can we provide benefits to the world's population without harming the environment, negatively impacting social stability, or threatening the well-being of future generations? The course examines the options available to us in terms of energy resources and technologies, promoting transportation alternatives, and changing consumption habits in the pursuit of sustainability. Non-renewable and renewable energy resources and their environmental impacts will be discussed, along with the effects of industry and transportation on environmental, health, and social aspects, and solutions for designing a sustainable future based on insights from engineering, behavioral sciences, and public policy.
