Modules Modules
Posted at 03:44.41 and filed under aNUSI think i’ve more or less firmed up my timetable for this sem, taking the following modules and i’m so engz to write proper descriptions for them…or ok i wanted to, but the pirate in me ripped them off from here..
PC2267 BIOPHYSICS I
This module introduces the underlying principles and mechanisms of physics behind life sciences. It incorporates introductory concepts of physics into the phenomena associated with biological functions. The topics to be covered include: biological structures and the relation to biophysics; principles and methods of physics applied to biology; physical aspects of structure and functionalities of biomolecules, physical principles of bioenergy conversion and membrane-bound energy transduction; physical processes of bio-transport, nerves and bioelectricity. The module includes some basic biophysics experiments. It is targeted at both physics and non-physics students who already have basic knowledge in physics.
PC3235 SOLID STATE PHYSICS 1
This is a first course in solid state physics. It aims to lay the foundations for students seeking to major in physics as well as students studying in materials science and engineering. The lectures emphasize on the fundamental concepts of condensed matter, covering crystal structure and reciprocal lattice, crystal binding and elastic constants, crystal vibrations and thermal properties, free electron theory and physical properties of metals, electron in periodic potentials, and basic semiconductors. Simple model prediction data and the experimental data from real systems would be compared and discussed to help students develop on intuitive understanding of the subject.
PC3245 MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL IN EXPERIMENTS
[Damnit! this module is a potential pirate ship, less than 10 of us in the class..no lect notes, no description as well!]
PC3193 EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS II
This continuous assessment module is intended to provide training in experimental techniques and analytical skills. Experiments are based on various areas of physics such as spectroscopy, nuclear physics, laser physics, optics and electronics. Some experiments involve the use of research-grade equipment like the electron microscope, the atomic force microscope and the FTIR spectrophotometer. Project-type experiments are also available. The module is targeted at science and engineering students who have a foundation in Level 2 experimental physics.
EC3101 MICROECONOMIC ANALYSIS II
This module is designed to equip students with the standard set of tools and techniques to access higher level modules that make use of microeconomic analysis. The module begins with the general equilibrium model, and is followed by analysis on problems presented by externalities and public goods. The general equilibrium framework is also extended to cover choices over time and choices under uncertainty. The module then moves on to game theory and its applications to economic problems. The game theoretic concepts are also used in discussing economic issues pertaining to asymmetric information. The course is mounted for students who wish to major in Economics for the B.A. degree.
SSA2220 GLOBAL ECONONIC DIMENSIONS OF SINGAPORE
This course will introduce students to the dynamics of the world economy and the impact on Singapore in the last two centuries. It will demonstrate how Singapore grew through continual dependence on the rest of the world in different ways by focusing on major labour, capital and technological factors, in which threats are also seen as opportunities
This is really the most impt sem for me so far, time to make good, time to 出人头地!
