Know the Science of the Applied Chemistry

Know the Science of the Applied ChemistryAs a science student, I am taught about the various facets of applied mathematics as taught in the 'Sec Chemistry' courses I had taken. This course is offered by several organizations like the IITs, IIMs and other top ranked institutes. In these courses, students are given great exposure to different aspects of Chemistry and its applications.Let me briefly explain how the Sec Chemistry classes work. After selecting an institute, one has to choose a subject, be it a particular branch or discipline. Then, one has to select a teacher who can help him in understanding the same. One has to pay for admission into this course and if he chooses a department, his room and board charges would be paid.As a student, I had two such courses; one in my first year of the BTech and another in my second year of the BTech. Both of these courses were great and taught me a lot about the world of Chemistry. One of the major advantages that I got from the course was that the subject was not too difficult for me to understand, even though there were various aspects and concepts involved.Apart from understanding these subjects, the subjects covered in the course also included various topics such as organic chemistry, protein chemistry, chemical engineering, flammability and so on. The subjects were so comprehensive that I could master all the subjects in the course within a span of four months. The duration for each subject was usually a little over two weeks and this meant that I had enough time to learn a lot about the subjects. The course was organized and taught by experts and this meant that I had a lot of time for my own interests.My favorite subject was materials science and its applications. It was highly engaging and I could study from anywhere. The subject was taught in an interactive format and had several modules that one could do depending on his preference.I am sure that I have experienced various thrill when I had been assigned th e super capa to make a tour around the laboratory and see what the big guys were up to. It was never boring, it was always full of excitement and with the help of the guide, I could understand everything much better.The course made me more interested in science as a career prospect. I was able to see all the changes happening in the field and that made me feel as if I was in the lead. A few years after this course, I was accepted to a PhD program and it was the best decision that I ever made.
