This course is an advanced course to physical chemistry. It will interactively engage students cognitively and scientifically in areas of thermodynamics, electrochemistry and quantum mechanics. Students will define concepts, make predictions as to the possible outcome of an event and perform investigations via laboratory exercises. The designated lecture session is used to discuss results of investigations leading to its relation to the existing laws, principles or theories. Lecture sessions employ a mixture of lectures and problem based learning. The outcomes shall be assessed through a variety of tools which include the traditional paper examination, informal interviews and classroom engagement.
