COURSE SYNOPSES SYNOPSES OF CHEMISTRY COURSES SSCC 1014 – Principles of Chemistry This course provides an introduction to the chemical and physical aspects of inorganic and organic molecules. The emphasis is on basic principles of atomic and molecular electronic structure, chemical bonding, state of matters, thermo chemistry, acid-base and redox equilibr ia, chemical kinetics, electrochemistry and organic chemistry. Introductory experimentation in chemistry is also included throughout the course that emphasizes development of fundamental laboratory skills and techniques. SSCC 1312 – Laboratory Occupational Safety and Health The emphasis of this subject is to inculcate awareness culture for an improved safety and health working attitudes on the students. The fundamental concept and theory related to laboratory organization and design, material, human, chemical managements, safe practices in laboratories, storage, inventory control and international standard for documentation will be introduced, discussed, with actual case scenarios. Students are expected to be able to construct, plan, defend, suggest, evaluate and criticise various angles of the subject and apply them in related cases or incidents. Understanding Factories and Machinery Act 1967 and Occupation and al Safety and Health Act 1994 is a must.
