This course is a rational comprehensive study of
inorganic and organic compounds correlating the concepts of molecular
organizations with their chemical behaviour. This includes a comparative study
of different classes of organic compounds, their type of formulas, nomenclature
and occurrence, together with the structural effects on their physical and
chemical properties, synthesis reactions, sources and application/uses of
common organic compounds are also taken.
This course is intended to acquaint students with the properties, reactions, sources, structure, functions, and biosynthesis of the biomolecules, namely, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids, found in the living systems. It includes different metabolic processes where these biomolecules are utilized and how the metabolic processes are integrated into the total metabolic function of the living system. An understanding of these biochemical systems and chemical reactions will give a better appreciation of their roles in the maintenance of life and order in the body

This
is a one-semester integrated course that explores topics related to chemical
effects in the natural environment. Chemistry topics include atomic, molecular,
ionic and radical structures, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, gas laws,
acid/base, equilibrium and oxidation/reduction. Environmental topics include
the sources, reactions, transport, effects and fates of chemical species in the
soil, water and air. These two areas are woven together in daily work and
larger projects. This course is divided into six major parts that reflects the
most pressing issues in Environmental Chemistry today: Atmospheric Chemistry;
Water Chemistry; Pollution and Toxic Organic Compounds; Soil Pollution; Food Additives and Toxicology, and Carcinogens and Mutagens.
This course discusses the mechanisms of heredity and variation with emphasis on the interrelation of cytology, cell biology and genetics. It touches on how genes are expressed into RNA and protein products. It also covers the techniques derived from the gene expression system and how they are applied in the basic and applied sciences.

The course deals with interactions between science and technology and social, cultural, political, and economic contexts that shape and are shaped by them.
This interdisciplinary course engages students to confront the realities brought about by science and technology in society. Such realities pervade the personal, the public, and the global aspects of our living and are integral to human development. Scientific knowledge and technological development happen in the context of society with all its socio-political, cultural, economic, and philosophical underpinnings at play. This course seeks to instill reflective knowledge in the students that they are able to live the good life and display ethical decision making in the face of scientific and technological advancement.
This course includes mandatory topics on climate change and environmental awareness.
