"General Chemistry for Engineers" is tailored for a one-semester
freshman-level college course for students pursuing engineering
degrees. The book offers a balance of conciseness, rigor, and depth
needed to prepare students for more advanced coursework and careers
in various engineering specialties, such as civil, environmental,
electrical, computer, mechanical and industrial engineering, in
addition to chemical engineering.
This text leads students through the breadth of a typical
two-semester sequence in general chemistry. It elucidates the key
concepts and skills important for entering engineering students,
including problem solving, qualitative and quantitative thinking,
and importance of units. Examples are drawn from problems of
interest to modern engineers, including alternative energy,
advanced materials, and the environment. The book is the result of
the author's unique experiences teaching approximately 2,500
freshman in chemistry and upper-level students in chemical and
biological engineering, in addition to leading research and
development teaching in the medical device and specialty
pharmaceutical industries. The author received a variety of
teaching awards at Northeastern honoring his work in making an
intense, fast-pace course manageable and exciting.
Paul A. DiMilla is an Associate Academic Specialist in Chemistry
& Chemical Biology and Chemical Engineering at Northeastern
University. He received his B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology and his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania,
both in Chemical Engineering. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow in
Chemistry at Harvard University prior to beginning his faculty
career in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon
University, where he co-founded Automated Cell, Inc.
Paul was a Visiting Professor of Bioengineering at the Franklin W.
Olin College of Engineering and a Visiting Scholar in Biomedical
Engineering at Boston University. Additionally, he led R&D
teams in the private sector, developing tissue-engineered medical
products and drug- generating biodegradable polymers. He received
an Early Career Development Award from the NSF, a Searle Scholar
Award, and the first Whitaker Young Investigator Award. He is also
the inventor on seven issued US patents.
