Summary
BIOLOGY
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
Host Centre: Hwa Chong Institution (HCI)
Pre-requisite: H2 Biology Preclusion: This course cannot be offered together with MOE H3 Proteomics MOLECULAR BIOLOGY focuses on the areas of Biomolecules and Recombinant DNA Technology. Biomolecules explores the 3-dimensional structure of biomolecules and offers insights into forces that govern their structure and functions. Students will learn to assess databases and software to analyse and to visualise the 3-D structures of biomolecules. Recombinant DNA Technology introduces modern biotechnology concepts and methodologies, which includes DNA/protein manipulation and analysis, mass spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Students will also be introduced to biomedical technologies such as stem cell research, as well as the generation of knockout/transgenic animals. The course will be conducted through lectures, tutorials and laboratory sessions (computer & wetlaboratory). Assessment will be based on the following components: Laboratory assignments Wet-Laboratory Practical Report (20%) One 2-hour written Final Examination (80%) Direct any further module-specific enquiries to TalentOutreach@ntu.edu.sg.

PHYSICS
Pre-requisite: H2 Physics Preclusions: This course cannot be offered together with MOE H3 Essentials of Modern Physics SEMICONDUCTOR PHYSICS & DEVICES is designed to stimulate students interest in science and engineering, and to help them broaden their educational experience. It is intended for students wishing to pursue deeper studies in Physics and Semiconductors. Students enrolled in the course will learn the key theorems of semiconductors and the operating principles of semiconductor devices. Hands-on sessions on semiconductor materials and devices will be provided. Through this module, students will also acquire an understanding and appreciation of the driving force behind the convergence of semiconductor technologies, which is imperative to our daily life, and its evolution. The course will be conducted through lectures, tutorials and laboratory sessions. Assessment will be based on the following components: Laboratory Assignments (Report & Viva) (10%) Two 1-hour written Mid-Term Tests (20%) One 2-hour written Final Examination (70%) Direct any further module-specific enquiries to TalentOutreach@ntu.edu.sg.
