Welcome to Chemistry for Engineers


My name is Dr. Mike Jezercak and I’ll be your professor for this semester. I am contacting all of you in advance to make you aware of the course website which on my chemistry web, NOT D2L. The page is available through the chemistry website and linked here:

http://www.drjez.com/uco

Once there you can navigate to the Engineering Chemistry page and there you will find all the necessary course information including the course syllabus, schedule of chapters and exams along with homework and any ancillary material handed out in lecture and other items you’ll need or find useful during this semester. Please bookmark this page as I also keep updated grades there for you to access.

This course will move along a brisk pace and we will begin immediately. Know that you must be concurrently enrolled in the laboratory section as well as this is a combined course. You will need a laboratory manual purchased from Kopy Kat located on the corner of Ayers and University as you will be using it in the very first lab.
Please note that I only answer emails through my email address given on the website so, for any communication, please use drjez@uco.drjez.com .


Text and resource costs to you are very important to me and I want to minimize costs as much as possible. I’ve arranged for managed text prices at Texbook Brokers located on University Drive so if you aren’t required to purchase from the bookstore, they have texts. Also, if you must buy from the university bookstore, get a selling price at this location as the bookstore now does price matching.


Also, Cengage, the publisher of your text) offers an interesting option for texts that allows you access to all text resources for up to 5 texts for a single price. To see more on this, go to: https://www.cengage.com/unlimited
This semester, I am offering the online homework system, OWL for homework and practice. We will not be using this during the semester, however, the homework that is assigned can be done there along with other problems you can have access to for practice. This, with the e-book is available with Cengage Unlimited, a lower price. The option is yours, however, you will absolutely need a text.
