Chemistry for Engineering Students

Chemistry for Engineering Students, 4th Edition, introduces foundational chemistry designed to prepare students for further study across any engineering field. Authors Lawrence S. Brown and Tom Holme frame chemical principles around practical engineering contexts.

The textbook examines core topics including atomic structure, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, and gases, alongside energy, entropy, kinetics, equilibrium, and electrochemistry. Throughout these subjects, the text highlights how molecular properties govern observable physical properties and emphasizes connections to mathematics and physics.

Updated for its 2019 fourth edition, the volume incorporated new problems, conceptual understanding questions, and engineering-focused applications. Special INSIGHT sections explore relevant modern topics such as critical materials and touchscreen technology.
