This course covers the fundamentals of meteorology that include atmospheric processes, weather, and climate. Overview of current weather maps; structure of the atmosphere and the role of moisture in the development of dew, clouds, and precipitation; air masses, fronts, and cyclones will be discussed. Students will also explore the elements involved in weather forecasting, relevant instrumentation and communication pertaining to meteorology. Major climatic controls; climatic classifications and comparisons of major climatic types; an overview of current climate issues such as global warming and El Nino; overview of the global climate is also included in lectures and group discussions

This course assist student to understand how evolutionary and ecological processes interactions drive biotas to adapt to the continuous changing environment in a changing world producing a diversity of species. Today, anthropogenic activities influences ecosystems and climate worldwide, and extant species face environmental changes that probaby occur faster than ever before in the history of life. Student will able to recognize evolutionary importance of genetic diversity in agriculture in providing genetic resources for selective breeding programme and environmental friendly practices of Integrated Pest-Management which minimise disruption to agro-system and risk to human health.

The course covers knowledge on the functions and importance of natural resources and the environment related issues. Management strategies will be taught that would enable the students to apply them in environmental decision making. Awareness and auditing in Environmental Management System (ISO14001: 2015) will be extensively covered. Other topics related to sustainable cities, biodiversity management, sustainable development goals are also introduced with a local and global context. Besides that, this course also emphasizes the need to deal with people in managing environmental problems and the importance of education for the promotion of sustainable development and sustainability.
This course prepares the student to a variety of analytical techniques and instruments utilized in environmental analysis. It is designed to couple theory of equipment operation and their applications in the fields of environmental studies.
This course provides an overview of the important issues in Occupational Safety and Health (OSH). It is a cross-disciplinary area that protects the safety, health, and welfare of the people engaged in employment. All its programs aim to foster a safe work environment. The development of OSH must be aligned with vast development in all industry sectors, including Small and Medium Industries (SME). Industrial hygiene is challenging and yet it is a very important issue in demand for providing safe and healthy workplaces in the context of a market economy and global competition that produces pressure for low-cost production This course will not only focus on the Occupational Safety and Health standards in Malaysia, but on the larger political agenda of the global economy and how it impacts on the safety and health of workers around the world. The class style will be participatory, including small group discussions and activities. Related videos will complement the class or tutorial discussion. Students will learn major types of workplace health and safety problems, review existing public policy in the area, learn how to conduct a workplace audit, and consider how employers, unions, and public policy might improve health and safety outcomes. Issues are addressed using multiple disciplines, namely history, industrial hygiene, and employment relations.

This module is a crucial course for acquiring basic knowledge in Earth Science. It covers the Earth's composition, structure, and dynamics, providing students with fundamental knowledge of geomorphological features and processes. Understanding how the Earth works is based on the scientific method, requiring interpretations consistent with fundamental natural laws. The course includes studies of rocks that form mountains, the types of rocks in the Earth's lithosphere, minerals, and crystal structures. It also examines Earth's crustal forms observable at the surface, such as folds, faults, and fractures, and the processes that create them, including tectonics, volcanism, earthquakes, and sedimentation. Additionally, the course discusses the Earth's global dynamics, including its building blocks, dynamic interior, igneous activity, plate tectonics, and mountain building. Towards the end, an introduction to the Earth's economic resources is provided.
This course calls for a detailed examination of different curriculum models and syllabus types. It is designed to help teachers consider critically the information they obtain from the course and apply it to their knowledge, experience, and classroom practice. Students will be exposed to the principles involved in selecting, grading, and integrating the various components of a language syllabus, and how they can go about analyzing the syllabuses in use in their own classrooms.
