CODE 101121 ACADEMIC YEAR 2021/2022 CREDITS 6 cfu anno 1 MARITIME SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 10948 (L-28) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR CHIM/03 TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER 1° Semester TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW The course introduces students to the knowledge of the basic concepts of chemistry, necessary for understanding the structure and properties of fuels and materials of interest in the field of navigation. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Acquiring rigorous methodology to describe as accurately as possible the fundamental phenomena that are the basis of chemical systems; knowing how to understand and use the minimum mathematical formalism required to interpret them. Physical and chemical properties of fuels, lubrificant etc. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The Chemistry course is a fundamental training course, which provides the student information to understand the basic concepts on the main families of materials, used in marine engineering, and their properties. Focusing on the chemical-physical, structural and safety aspects, will be provide the skills for understanding the construction and maintenance characteristics of the different equipments on board ships. The necessary tools are also provided for a critical evaluation of the main fuels and lubricants that can be used in the navigation field. The student must be able to keep up to date, by consulting texts, publications and regulations (mainly in English) in order to acquire a good ability to deepen the typical topics of the materials and safety sector. TEACHING METHODS Frontal lessons and class exercises. The lectures are given with the aid of slides. Lessons will also be held in e-learning mode, through platforms made accessible to students from the University of Genoa. All the materials delivered during lectures will be available on AulaWeb. SYLLABUS/CONTENT General and Inorganic Chemistry Atomic structure of matter, structure of the atom, electronic configuration. Periodic system and periodic properties.

The oral test is always conducted by a commission made up of at least two professors and has a reasonable duration. ASSESSMENT METHODS The final evaluation will take into account: class attendance; the knowledge of the course contents and the problem-solving skills tested with the written exam; the communication skills tested during the oral exam.
