Vision

The Chemistry Department prepares students for a diverse and changing world. We strive to contribute to a chemically literate society through teaching (with classrooms, labs, and research), collaboration, mentoring, experiential learning, creative inquiry and public service.

Mission:

  • The Chemistry Department provides rigorous preparation of citizens whose career paths require expertise in chemistry.
  • We are dedicated to rigorous standards for content knowledge, communication skills, research quality and professional behavior.
  • We are committed to demonstrating science as a human endeavor and as a way to understand the natural world.
  • The faculty in the Chemistry Department see themselves as resources for our units, university, region, state, nation, and world.
  • As a community of scholars, we help individuals question critically, think logically, reason effectively, communicate clearly, act creatively, and live ethically.

PO13Moral and ethical awareness/reasoning: Ability to embrace moral/ethical values in conducting one’s life, formulate a position/argument about an ethical issue from multiple perspectives, and use ethical practices in all work. Capable of demonstrating the ability to identify ethical issues related to one’s work, avoid unethical behaviour such as fabrication, falsification, or misrepresentation of data or committing plagiarism, not adhering to intellectual property rights; appreciating environmental and sustainability issues; and adopting objective, unbiased and truthful actions in all aspects of work.
PO14Leadership readiness/qualities: Capability for mapping out the tasks of a team or an organization, setting direction, formulating an inspiring vision, building a team that can help achieve the vision, motivating and inspiring team members to engage with that vision, and using management skills to guide people to the right destination, smoothly and efficiently.
PO15Lifelong learning: Ability to acquire knowledge and skills, including „learning how to learn‟, that is necessary for participating in learning activities throughout life, through self-paced and self-directed learning aimed at personal development, meeting economic, social, and cultural objectives, and adapting to changing trades and demands of the workplace through knowledge/skill development/reskilling.

Programme Specific Outcomes:

PSO1: Disciplinary Knowledge: Understand the fundamental principles, concepts, and theories related to physics and computer science. Also, exhibit proficiency in performing experiments in the laboratory.

PSO2: Critical Thinking: Analyze complex problems, evaluate information, synthesize information, apply theoretical concepts to practical situations, identify assumptions and biases, make informed decisions, and communicate effectively

PSO3: Problem-Solving: Employ theoretical concepts and critical reasoning ability with physical, mathematical, and technical skills to solve problems, acquire data, analyze their physical significance, and explore new design possibilities.

PSO4: Analytical & Scientific Reasoning: Apply scientific methods, collect and analyze data, test hypotheses, evaluate evidence, apply statistical techniques, and use computational models.

PSO5: Research related skills: Formulate research questions, conduct literature reviews, design and execute research studies, communicate research findings and collaborate in research projects.

PSO6: Self-directed & Lifelong Learning: Set learning goals, manage their learning, reflect on their learning, adapt to new contexts, seek out new knowledge, collaborate with others, and continuously improve their skills and knowledge, through ongoing learning and professional development, and contribute to the growth and development of their field.
