5 Chemistry Degree Programs in Taiwan

The proposes of this course were to introduce the structure, nomenclature, classification, biochemical properties and enzyme activity assay, the purification technique and methods, and the application. Therefore, this course included classification and nomenclature, binding energy and catalysis, biological electron transfer, steady state kinetics, enzyme metabolism, metal ions in enzymes, use of protein engineering to study enzyme mechanism, methods and technique of enzyme purification, heat stable enzymes, hydrolytic enzymes in animals, Immobilization of enzymes, and enzymes in food processing.

The two-semester course focuses on subjects so called "classical analysis" in order to avert overlap between it and the course of instrumental analysis. Theories and details of gravimetric, titrimetric, electroanalytical, and spearative methods are introduced through lectures and hand-on experiments. Students are also instructed in the techniques of evaluating analytical data as well as solving equilibrium and stoichiometry problems. The major goal of the course is to provide students with a sound background in various chemical analysis and the ability to use and evaluate the relative merits and limitations of analytical methods.

The two-semester course is designed to teach the student operation skills in chemical analysis, treatment in analytical data, and austere working manner through hand-on experience. The laboratory work in the first semester includes basic laboratory skills, calibration of volumetric glassware, acid-base titrations, gravimetric methods of analysis, and complex-formation titrations. The work in the second semester emphasizes on precipitation titrations, oxidation-reduction titrations, electroanalytical methods, spectrophotometry and chromatography.

Teaching will be emphasized on modes of toxic action and environmental fates of these bioactive chemicals presently being used in this world. Problems of pollution and persistency, in the earth by chemical pesticides. How to carry out the study and interpret the results in relation to persistence, degradation mechanism and toxicological impact in environments. Take real examples of studies on the fates of xenobiotics in living and non-living systems.

The Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering of NCU is one of the leading institutions in engineering education and is reputed for its world-class accomplishments in research. The department offers a curriculum with a broad spectrum of courses, uniquely merging the core chemical engineering training with the fundamental knowledge of materials science/engineering and further strengthened with the in-depth studies on emerging research and industrial fields.
