The discussion revolves around the relevance of thermochemistry and gas laws to electrical engineering, particularly in the context of a first-year student's assignment in General Chemistry. Participants explore connections between chemistry concepts and their applications in electrical engineering fields.
Participants generally agree on the potential relevance of thermochemistry and gas laws to electrical engineering through various applications, though specific connections and examples are still being explored.
Limitations include the potential for varying interpretations of how thermochemistry and gas laws apply to electrical engineering, as well as the need for more specific examples or case studies to strengthen the connections discussed.
First-year electrical engineering students, educators in STEM fields, and individuals interested in the intersection of chemistry and engineering applications.
Welcome to the PF.Autumnhaze said:I'm a first year electrical engineering student and in my General Chemistry class, every other week, we're required to write a paragraph about how each weeks material relates to your future career. As I am in electrical engineering, I don't see much relation to any topic. This week is thermochemistry and gases/gas laws. Any tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks for that suggestion, really helped me pinpoint an area to cover. Much appreciated.jasonRF said:semiconductor processing. Much of it is done in very low pressure "vacuum" systems and specific temperatures. Specific gasses are used during parts of the processing so that the proper chemical reactions occur. You can likely find a little material on that subject.
