1 Course Name Environmental Microbiology & Chemistry 2 Course Code CEB 20303 3 Academic Dr Nor Zalina Kasim Staff Name(s) 4 Rationale for This course introduces the fundamental concepts of chemistry and microbiology with inclusion of application to the environment. The students are introduce to the existence, Course in the characteristics, behavior and effects of harmful chemical substance in environment Programme medium and the control of it. They are also trained on basic principles and practical applications of microbiology to current environment problems. 5 Semester & Semester: 3 Year Offered Year: 2 6 Student Learning Face to Face (F2F) Independent TOTAL Time (SLT) learning Lecture Tutorial Practical Other TOTAL 34 0 24 2 60 60 120 7 Credit Value 3 8 Prerequisite None 9 Learning Upon completion of this course students should be able to: Outcomes 1. Apply principles of environmental chemistry and microbiology learned in the course. (C3) 2. Display basic laboratory skills investigating chemical and microbial processes in the environment learned in the course. (P3, CTPS) 3. Demonstrate ability to work in and lead a team. (A2, TS, S3) 4. Demonstrate ability to work in a team (A2, TS).
10 Transferable Skills Skills Development of the skills skills assessment 1. Teamwork Students are required to work in team Laboratory during lab sessions. reports, field work report and peer evaluation 2. Participation & Written communication skills via written Observation, Communication skills reports evaluation and Q&A. 11 Strategies Teaching & learning Assessment Lecture Lab report Laboratory experiments Lab skills Assignment/mini project Final exam
12 Synopsis The subject covers three interlinked, major topics: 1. Environmental Chemistry which covers chemical reactions and kinetics, 2. Environmental Microbiology that covers detection methods, classification and physiology of the microorganism in the environment, and 3. Environmental Applications of Microbial and Chemistry related to the major environmental cycles and chemical reactions such bioleaching, biosorption, biocorrosion and microbially enhanced oil recovery. Series of experiments and mini projects will be implemented to enhance knowledge acquisition and hands-on experience in common environmental sample analysis.
