Chemistry is an
important branch of science that focuses on energy and matter. It occurs in
everything in our daily life including the air we breathe, the food we eat and
the water we drink.All phenomena on this earth involve chemical processes.The
products created by engineers are based on chemistry. Things fail when
chemicals interact in undesirable ways.Even, emotions like happiness, sadness
and love involve chemistry.
NCU offers engineering chemistry
as a subject to all the students of the School of Engineering and Technology
(SOET) in order to familiarize them with the applications of chemistry in various
fields of science and engineering.Apart from studying the core course, students
at NCU are also offered specialised courses such as Nanotechnology, Green
Technology and Polymer & Composites as electives.The curriculum for all the courses taught has been
designed in consultation with mentors from IITD.
The faculty at the
University acts as catalysts that ignite the spark in the students and make
them ready for learning. Our classroom teaching is enriched through different
teaching methodologies like guided teaching, drill & practice, use of
audio/video aids and many more.The departments has a well-equipped chemistry
lab that houses instruments like UV spectrophotometer, pH meter, conductometer
and several other instruments that are used by students to perform experiments
that help in complementing classroom teaching with practice sessions.
The use
of chemistry software makes the practical component very fascinating.Project-based
learning is an integral part of the curriculum where students are involved in
project work that helps in inculcating team-building and problem-solving skills.The
students showcase these projects every year in an exhibition held on the National
Science Day.Advanced tools including virtual labs, MOOC Courses etc. are additionally being used for imparting knowledge. The university has also set
up a Tinkering Lab to encourage creativity and innovation among the students.
I strongly believe that
inspiring faculty and innovative teaching make learning chemistry at NCU a
great experience.
