Energy Science Alagappa University

Overview

Key Features

Energy Science is a pervasive subject. It is an experimental science and students need to train in practicals to get expertise in doing fine experiments and handle sophisticated instruments. Along with the data obtained its statistical analysis is also required to establish authenticity in the fields like environmental science, space chemistry and biotechnology.

Programme outcomes

Upon completion of M.Sc. Energy Science programme at Alagappa University students should be able to:

• Apply knowledge obtained in Energy Science lecture to problem solving and critical thinking in the laboratory.
• Utilize mathematical knowledge gained from general Energy Science to perform common calculations, including mass balance, limiting reagent, and percent yield.
• Engage in safe laboratory practices by handling laboratory glassware, equipment, and chemical reagents appropriately, using general guidelines and basic knowledge about the common hazards associated with them in an Energy Science practical laboratory.
• Maintain an appropriate scientific notebook using notational and descriptive content containing information on relevant chemical reagents, experimental procedure followed, data collected, and observations made during the experimental process.
• Assemble glassware and perform the following techniques as a part of synthetic procedures: aqueous workup, distillation, reflux, separation, isolation, and crystallization.
• Predict the outcome of several common materials synthesis through a basic understanding of starting materials, mechanism, typical reaction conditions and applications.
• Characterize prepared substances by advanced characterization techniques.
• Develop the skill set necessary to continue the higher studies (Ph.D.) in Energy Science.
• Can confidently attend and clear competitive examinations especially CSIR NET.
• Become teachers in educational institutes and scientist in research laboratories.
