2. Ahmad Z. “PRINCIPLES OF CORROSION ENGINEERING AND CORROSION CONTROL” 1st Edition, Elsevier (2006).

This book covers basic principles of corrosion. Basic principles of electrochemistry and chemical thermodynamics are incorporated to make the book accessible. Each form of corrosion in the book has a definition, description, mechanism, examples, and preventive methods. Case histories of failures are cited for each form. An online solutions manual accompanies the chapter-end questions.

3. Askeland D.R. and Wright W.J. “THE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING OF MATERIALS” Seventh Edition, CL Engineering (2015). 

The text by Askeland emphasizes a science-based approach to materials engineering, highlighting how the structure of materials at various length scales gives rise to material properties. This connection between structure and properties is crucial for innovation in materials, both in synthesizing new materials and enabling new applications with existing materials.

4. Atkins P., Jones L. and Laverman L. “CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES. THE QUEST FOR INSIGHT”, 7th Edition, Macmillan (2016).

This book helps you develop chemical knowledge by showcasing the connections between fundamental chemical ideas and their applications. Starting with a detailed picture of the atom, "Chemical Principles" advances to the forefront of chemistry, continually demonstrating how to solve problems, think about nature and matter, and visualize chemical concepts as active chemists do. It also provides exceptional support to develop your mathematical and problem-solving skills.


MODULE 2
5. McMurry J. “ORGANIC CHEMISTRY” 10th Edition, Brooks/Cole (2019)McMurry J. “ORGANIC CHEMISTRY” 10th Edition, Brooks/Cole (2019). OpenStax access (URL)

A book on general organic chemistry explained clearly and concisely. The end-of-chapter problems are grouped by topic, allowing you to focus on specific subjects. It contains numerous problems at the end of the chapters, with a particular emphasis on biology-related topics. At the beginning of each chapter's introduction is a section called "Why This Chapter?"—a short paragraph that tells you why the material to be covered is important. Each solved example consists of a strategy and a detailed solution, followed by problems for you to attempt independently. 

6. Liu X. “ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I” Kwantlen PolytechnicUniversity, Surrey BC (2021). Open Textbook Library (URL)

Basic concepts of the structures and reactivities of organic molecules are covered in this open textbook. Besides the fundamental discussions of organic acids-bases, stereochemistry, IR and NMR, this book also includes the topics of substitution and elimination reactions, radical substitution of alkanes, preparation and reactions of alkenes and alkynes. 

7. Karlin D. “CHEMISTRY II” Williams School. LibreTextsChemistry. (URL)

Open textbook about basic organic and inorganic chemistry. 

8. Wells A. “CHEM 12A: ORGANIC CHEMISTRY FALL” Chabot College(2022). LibreTexts Project (URL)

This Open textbook presents basic organic chemistry in chapters about different functional groups. Structural determination techniques, IR, MS, and NMR, are also included. 

9. Vollhardt P.K. and Schore N. “ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION”, 8th Edition, Macmillan (2018). 

This book maintains the classic framework with a logical organization where the structure of an organic molecule determines its function, and it strengthens the focus on helping you understand reactions, mechanisms, synthetic analysis, and their practical applications. The eighth edition introduces a refined methodology rooted in teaching experience to enhance comprehension and problem-solving skills.


MODULE 3
