Chemistry — What This Subject Is About
To give a practical understanding of the chemistry that engineers meet — materials, water, fuels and corrosion — and safe laboratory practice.
Common Curriculum • 1st Semester • All 41 Engineering Branches • 1st Semester (First Year — Common Curriculum) • Session 2026–27
About this document: The first year of a BTEUP diploma runs on one common curriculum for 41 engineering branches, so this subject is the same whether you are in Computer Science, Mechanical, Civil or Electrical. The subject areas below are from the official 1st-year curriculum (folder2627, NEP-2020). Paper-wise codes, marks and L–P hours are not stated here because they are yet to be confirmed from the official 1st-year PDF — please confirm them with your own polytechnic.
What You Will Study
Atomic Structure & Bonding
Atoms, molecules and ions; chemical bonds; the periodic table in brief.
What materials are made of and why they behave the way they do.
Water Technology
Hardness of water; water treatment methods; boiler feed water.
Why water must be treated before it is used in boilers and industry.
Fuels & Combustion
Types of fuels; calorific value; combustion and its control.
How fuels release energy and how that energy is used efficiently.
Corrosion & Its Prevention
What corrosion is; types of corrosion; methods of prevention.
Why metals rust and wear out, and how engineers protect them.
How This Helps You Later
Chemistry teaches you how materials behave — useful whenever you work with hardware, batteries and electronic components.
