Yr2 Semester 2 Modules

Today, i'm going to blog about the modules that I'm going to take from nxt week onwards when i start schooling:

CP4009 Basic Instrumental Analysis [BIA]
Provides basic practical laboratory skills and theoretical knowledge to analyse the chemical contents of chemicals. In particular, the subject examines sampling, UV-visible spectrometry, flame atomic absorption, solvent extraction and chromatography. It is a useful introduction to many forms of chemical analysis.

CP4010 Environmental Studies A [ESA]
Provides students with theoretical knowledge of environmental chemistry and environmental management. It aims to enhance a growing environmental awareness towards resource optimisation, waste minimisation, environmental impact assessment and industrial health and safety. Encourages students to develop problem-solving skills and to think as well as learn independently.

CP4011 Process Instrumentation [PI]
Covers measurements of common process variables e.g. temperature, flow, level and pressure, and common types of valves and safety instrumentation . There is a broad-based emphasis on handson experience in the laboratory, which involves pilot plants with embedded transducers, transmitters, sensors, signal selectors, controllers and control valves.

CP4014 Polymer Science [POLYSCI]
Gives a general understanding of polymerisation, transition temperatures, structure/properties relationship and molecular weight determination methods.

CP4027 Materials Science [MATSCI]
Covers the structure, properties and applications of important metals, alloys, and ceramics. Students will be taught phase equilibrium, phase rule and solid solutions.

CP4069 Plastics Materials and Additives I [PMAI]
Covers the manufacture, properties and applications of polyolefins, styrene-based polymers, vinyl chloride polymers, acrylics, and formaldehyde-based plastics. Other topics included are additives such as heat stabilisers, plasticisers, lubricants, fillers, impact modifiers, blowing agents and pigments. Common tests for plastics such as physical, thermal, chemical, electrical, optical, flammability and melt flow are also included.

GEM Module:
Introduction to German Culture and Language (LC316A/LC516A) [GCL]
Aims to broaden the students' knowledge of Germany, the language, customs and culture of the people as well as the learning and business opportunities available. Students will learn simple German phrases for survival and do's and donts when in the company of Germans. Lessons will be taught through tutorials, group discussions, and where possible, interaction with German speakers. Assessments will include an individual research assignment, a group project and a test.

So basically, this is what I'm going to expect for the next sem & I hear that it's not going to be easy. Tmr, going out.
