Chemistry

This course gives students the opportunity to build on their knowledge and understanding of mammalian metabolism, and to understand its integration and control, and it provides an introduction to disorders of metabolism.  It also allows students to develop skills relating to laboratory practical work and analysis and presentation of experimental data. 

The six-week summer lab research program at National Taiwan University places students in various science, engineering and social science research labs and/or projects under the supervision of faculty. Students spend approximately 30 hours per week in lab activities.

The properties of material are dependent on the composition and atomic arrangement resulted from the atomic bonding. In this course, the atomic arrangement with long range order is explained by using lattice, unit cell, symmetry, crystal system, point group, and space group. The crystal structure is presented geometrically and applied to crystal compound. Topics include Crystalline state, Symmetry, Point groups, Space groups and Application to crystal system. 

In this course, students chose from a range of research topics in various academic fields and receive one-on-one training from an experienced mentor who helps them refine research ideas, formulate questions, define methods of data collection, execute a plan, and present findings. Students learn how to review background information to their project, summarize its key outcomes, write a clear and concise research paper/report, and present results orally.
