This course covers theoretical and practical aspects of characteristics and methodologies of air quality and noise analyses. Topics that will be explored and discussed include atmospheric composition and its characteristics, atmospheric chemistry and air pollution, noise pollution, air quality and noise measurement techniques and analyses (both indoor and ambient environment). In addition, related air and noise guidelines and regulations, both national and international standards will be included in class lectures.

This course covers the chemistry aspects of environment. The topic of discussion is divided into two parts. The first part covers the chemistry of water, atmosphere, soil, and sediment as well as the physicochemical characteristics of organic and inorganic materials in respective environment. The second part emphasis on process and interaction mechanism of organic and inorganic pollutants in the environment.
A clear understanding of the concept of energy and its resources will allow students to become more familiar with the Earth’s energy supply, demand and impacts on its
utilisation. A first course in energy resources also serves as an introduction to the development of logic, deductive reasoning and energy sciences as a tool towards
sustainable development.
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 are 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.
