Students are introduced to the science philosophy and ethics necessary to be adopted by researchers. Students are given exposure to determine and manage risks in scientific research. Apart from that, issues and rules related to research such as intellectual property, copyright, plagiarism etc. will be discussed. Subsequently, students are guided to plan their research and prepare a research proposal. For this, students are trained with techniques in information search both manually and on-line, identifying issues and research objectives, planning research and experimental design within their period of study. Students are required to prepare their research proposal according to the format and making sure that it is free from plagiarism by introduction of plagiarism checker system. Students are given the opportunity to present their proposal in a seminar and defend them. Students will be evaluated based on written and oral presentation of the research proposal, and final examination.<\/p><p><strong>STKK6523 Spectroscopy in Organic Chemistry<\/strong><br \/>This course is introduced to strengthen the students\u2019 knowledge and skill in structural determination and stereochemistry of organic compounds. The theory and application of modern spectroscopic methods for this particular aim will be discussed, including ultraviolet, infrared, one and two-dimensional NMR and mass spectrometry. In addition, a step-by-step approach in structural elucidation of organic compounds that involves abstraction and interpretation of ultraviolet, infrared, one and two-dimensional NMR and mass spectral data will be discussed in detail. Besides focusing on the structural elucidation exercises based on the spectroscopic data, hands-on application of the instrument will also be executed during one slot of practical work. The importance of spectroscopic and physical data in the stereochemical determination of organic compounds will also be covered.<\/p><p><strong>STKK6353 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry<\/strong><br \/>This course will expose students to all aspects of basic inorganic reaction mechanisms, namely the process of bond formation and cleavage, electron transfer, the nature of intermediates, medium and other effects, in inorganic and organometallic redox and substitution reactions, including those which underlie critical catalytic, environmental, biological and industrial processes. Besides that, examples of specific structures and functions of metal\/metal ions and metal complexes in human life will also be discussed. This course will also cover the catalysis processes of inorganic and organometallic complexes.<\/p><p><strong>STKK6153 Advanced Physical Chemistry<\/strong><br \/>Changes: internal energy changes, direction of system changes. Second law: entropy and third law. Free energy of system: general thermodynamic equation, characteristics of free energy, chemical potential. Phase boundary, phase stability, phase transition, liquid surface. Phase diagram: three-component system.
