The History and Philosophy of Science Course was introduced as a compulsory component of the B.Sc. and B.Sc. Ed. Degrees for the term 1975/76 and it was offered throughout the four years of the undergraduate curriculum. The Department of Science and Technology Studies began to offer its own fullfledged degree program upon accreditation and approval by the University Academic Planning Committee and the Senate of the University of Malaya. Henceforth the department began to offer both the Bachelor of Science Degree (Science & Technology Studies) and Master of Science Degree (Science, Technology and Sustainability). Science and Technology Studies Program was offered as two modules (1) History and Philosophy of Science and (2) Management and Policy S&T. The Management and Policy S&T module represents a pioneering program both nationally and regionally and it basically fuses both the management discipline and policy studies in S&T. In the present day the program is further enhanced by the introduction of a newly reviewed curriculum of the Bachelor of Science (Science and Technology Studies) where the students are exposed to an integrated study of the philosophical aspects of S&T and Management and Policy Studies in S&T. The new curriculum was developed in reflection of current and latest advancements in S&T as well as the management of research and development of S&T that draws upon global awareness of the Sustainability of the Society and the Community. To add dynamism and rigor to the program, guest lecturers from government and private sectors as well as various relevant industries with expert knowledge in their fields of specialization will periodically join the teaching staff. Among the main objectives of Science and Technology Studies is to help expand and enhance the mobility of the intellect of science students. By offering courses that include the dimensions of history, philosophy, social science and policy as well as pure and applied science courses in biology, chemistry, physics, geology and mathematics, students will be able to attain soft skill, such as critical thinking and life-long learning. Such skills and the mastery of reflective knowledge in S&T Studies would prepare the student the necessary character-building as well as the intellectual and mental energy to assist the nation to formulate and enact effective policies related to the development of science and technology. 20 Faculty of Science Booklet, Session 2015/2016 BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES) SESSION 2015/2016 (125 CREDITS) University Courses (20 Credits) Course Code GIG1001 GIG1002 GIG1003 GIG1004 GIG1005 GLTXXXX Course Title The Islamic and Asian Civilization Ethnic Relations Basic Entrepreneurship Culture Information Literacy Social Engagement English Language Communication Co-Curriculum External Faculty Electives Courses (KELF) GIXXXXX Credit 2 2 2 2 2 6 2 2 Faculty Core Courses (8 credits) Course Code SIX1001 Course Title Introduction to Science and Technology Studies Credit 3 SIX1002 Ethics and Safety 2 SIX1003/1004/ 1005 Biostatistics / Statistics / Geostatistics 3 Program Core Courses (64 credits) Course Code LEVEL 1 SIS1001 SIS1002 SIS1003 SIS1004 SIS1005 SIS1006 LEVEL 2 SIS2001 SIS2002 Course Title Pre-requisite Logic and Critical Thinking Philosophy of Science and Philosophy of Technology Science and Technology in Malaysia Science, Technology and Sustainable Development Innovation and Organisation World History of Science Epistemology and Perspective on Knowledge Research Methodology in Science and 21 Credit 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 SIS1002 3 Faculty of Science Booklet, Session 2015/2016 SIS2003 SIS2004 SIS2005 SIS2006 LEVEL 3 SIS3001 SIS3002 SIS3003 SIS3004 SIS3005 SIS3006 SIS3007 Technology Studies Science, Technology and Religion Science Communication and Society Science and Technology Studies Field Study Environmental and Sustainability Policy Professional Ethics in Science Knowledge and Human Capital in Science Policy and Management of Science and Technology Technology Entrepreneurship Scientific Writing and Communication Research Project Industrial Training 3 3 SIS1003 and SIS1004 SIS1004 SIS2003 4 3 3 3 3 SIS1005 SIS2002 SIS2002 SIS2005 3 3 6 6 Program Elective Courses (33 credits) Course Code SIS2007 SIS3008 SIH1002 SIH2004 SIH2007 SIH2008 SIH2012 SIH2013 SIH3012 SIH3013 SIH3016 SIH3019 SIM1001 SIM1002 SIN2007 SIQ2001 Course Title Managing New Technologies Philosophy of Islamic Science and Technology Environmental Chemistry Environmental Pollution Principles of Waste Management Environmental Health and Safety Climate Change and Energy Science Renewable Energy Processes Green Technology and Pollution Prevention Water and Wastewater Management Environmental Risk Assessment Tourism and Environment Basic Mathematics Calculus I Management Mathematics Microeconomics 22 Pre-requisite Credit SIS1005 3 SIS1002 3 SIH1002 2 2 3 2 2 3 3 SIM1002 3 3 3 4 4 4 3 Faculty of Science Booklet, Session 2015/2016 SIQ2002 SIT1001 SIT2001 SIT2004 SIF1001 SIF1002 SIF1005 SIF1006 Macroeconomics Probability and Statistics I Probability and Statistics II Regression Analysis Mathematical Methods I Vibration and Wave Electronics I Physics Practical I SIF2002 Electromagnetism I SIF2003 Electromagnetism II SIF2006 Optics SIM1002 SIT1001 SIT1001 SIF1001 and SIF1002 SIF2002 SIF1001 and SIF1002 SIF2008 SIC1001 SIC1002 SIC1003 SIC1004 SIC2011 Numerical and Computational Methods Instrumentation Principles Chemistry Inorganic Chemistry I Organic Chemistry I Physical Chemistry I General Industrial Chemistry SIC2012 Nuclear Chemistry SID2005 SID2006 Food Chemistry Medicinal Chemistry SID2007 Petrochemistry SIG1001 SIG1002 SIG2008 Introduction to the Earth Earth Surface Processes Environmental Geology SIG2014 Karst Landscape and Conservation SIG3004 Geological Hazard SIF2007 SIG3011 3 4 4 4 3 2 2 2 3 3 2 SIF1001 3 SIF1006 2 2 4* 4* 4* 2 SIC1001 SIC1001 and SIC1002 SIC1003 SIC1003 SIC1002 and SIC1003 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 SIG1001 and SIG1002 2 3 Tectonics and Earth History Note: Course marked with* has practical component PROGRAM COORDINATOR 23 SIG1001 and SIG1002 3 Faculty of Science Booklet, Session 2015/2016 Nama Dr. Noor Munirah Isa E-mail noormunirah@um.edu.my No. Tel 7967 5168 ACADEMIC PANEL Nama Dr. Che Wan Jasimah Wan Mohamed Radzi E-mail jasimah@um.edu.my No. Tel 7967 4166 Dr. Wong Chan Yuan wong_chanyuan@um.edu.my 03-7967 7166 Dr. Maisarah Hasbullah maisara@um.edu.my 03-7967 4275 Department of Science and Technology Studies Faculty of Science University of Malaya 50603 Kuala Lumpur.

The training to think quantitatively, logically and analytically in problem solving may prove valuable in one's chosen career. Since the use of mathematics is all encompassing in human endeavour, a graduate career opportunities are almost limitless and not only confined to teaching and research. Many graduates from this Institute have found employment in the financial sectors (banking, accountancy and insurance for instance), management, business, industry and computing sectors. 46 Faculty of Science Booklet, Session 2015/2016 BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (MATHEMATICS) SESSION 2015/2016 (125 CREDITS) 1.

The Kuala Lumpur Division at the Universiti Malaya was officially opened on January 15, 1959. Lessons began in the Department of Zoology and Botany on the 25th of May 1959 in borrowed premises until the Faculty of Science building was officially opened in 1961. On the 1st of April 1967, the two Departments of Zoology and Botany became one as the School of Biological Sciences with five divisions: zoology, botany, ecology, genetics and physiology. Eight years later on April 1975, the School of Biological Sciences was separated into the Departments of Botany, Zoology, and Genetics and Cellular Biology. The other two divisions of Ecology and Physiology were managed by the Department of Zoology. Physiology was discontinued in 1978 while Ecology continued to flourish under the management of the Department of Zoology. In 1980, the Division of Microbiology was formed under the management of the Department of Genetics and Cellular Biology. On June 1st 1997, the amalgamation of these three departments led to the formation of the Institute of Biological Sciences (Institut Sains Biologi, ISB). The ISB aims to advance scientific and technological knowledge in the field of biology, through the establishment of research and scientific links with institutions in and outside the country. In the process of doing so, we hope that high quality graduates will be produced. These young men and women will play important roles in the development of our nation and the world in the future. 60 Faculty of Science Booklet, Session 2015/2016 PROGRAM BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (BIOINFORMATICS) SESSION 2015/2016 (126 CREDITS) 1.

The Department started operation in the academic year 1959/1960 and is one of the oldest departments in the faculty. The Department is the first institution of higher learning in Malaysia to receive the prestigious Royal Society of Chemistry, UK accreditation for its BSc (Chemistry) and BSc (Applied Chemistry) programme since August 2012. One of the objectives of the Department is to provide a centre of excellence in chemical education and research in Malaysia. Students from the department are trained to develop their critical, creative and innovative thinking. The Department is proud to produce graduates who are highly regarded and much sought after in the work force market. Presently, the Department has 65 academic staffs, several of whom are from abroad, 2 senior research fellows, and 1 emeritus professor. Apart from teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate degree levels, the staffs also conduct quality research in fundamental and applied chemistry. Although the academic staffs have different research interests, they adhere to the same philosophy in solving chemical-related problems and in the development of expertise in chemistry. In addition to the undergraduate program, the department also offers MSc by research and coursework; and PhD programs. Since the establishment, department has produced many MSc and PhD graduates who assume high positions in both government and private organisation locally and internationally. 86 Faculty of Science Booklet, Session 2015/2016 BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (CHEMISTRY) SESSION 2015/2016 (124 CREDITS) 1.
