Course overview and goals

[Summary of the lecture] In this course, an overview of the advanced applied chemistry courses (400- and 500-level courses) under Applied Chemistry Graduate Major in 1Q and 2Q will be given.
[Aim of the lecture] The advanced applied chemistry courses provide specialist skills for students at the department of Chemical Science and Engineering, who have the competencies necessary to complete graduate major in Chemical Science and Engineering. The presentation of course outlines helps the students to acquire wide scope and motivation for pursuing cumulative learning. For students at the other graduate majors, this course provides opportunity to learn about frontier researches in the fields of applied chemistry.

Course description and aims

At the end of this course, students will be able to:
(1) explain the curriculum of the graduate major courses of applied chemistry core courses.
(2) acquire wide scope and motivation for pursuing cumulative learning of the chemical science and engineering.
