The course History of chemistry and materials is a rather broad introduction into the history of chemistry, chemical technology and materials technology from prehistoric times to the 20th century. The objective of this course is to provide the student with an integral overview of the development of current chemistry, which today encomprises - apart from inorganic, organic and physical chemistry - many fields related to materials science and technology (inorganic and organic).

Students will be able to: assess the historical development of chemistry as a whole from the viewpoint of a chemist and apply this ability for a better and deeper understanding of the different subjects that will follow in the course of their studies. use the knowlegde gained in this course as a basis for obtaining a more universal, university type, education and for broadening the horizon of common engineering courses, which may on the long run contribute to enhancing the social prestige of chemical professions in general. recall the historical sequence of the most important discoveries and inventions and to understand roughly the overall historical development of the subject they are studying; after passing this course every student will dispose of a historical frame of his subject, and the most gifted ones will moreover be able to form their own standpoint concerning Kuhn’s theses on the structure of scientific revolutions with respect to chemistry.

The necessary condition for completing this course is the participation in at least two (out of three) written classification tests, in which always only the content of the preceding lectures will be tested. Non-participation in more than one of these written classification tests is automatically classified as "F" (failed) for the whole course, i.e. in this case the student is not admitted to the oral exam and cannot complete this course in the given academic year. The average of the two best written test results represents 50 % of the final classification (mark). The oral exam at the end of the semester provides another 50 % of the final classification (mark). However, in the case of two written tests better than "C" the student is not obliged to do the oral exam, i.e. he or she may choose to skip the oral exam, in which case the average of the two best written tests (in the case of a non-integer average the worse) can be automatically be recognized as replacing the oral result.
