About the Programme
The B.Sc. (Hons./Hons. with Research) in Chemistry at Sharda School of Engineering and Science is a comprehensive four-year undergraduate program that provides a strong foundation in core areas as per NEP 2020 with major and minor in Data Analytics/ Machine learning/ Entrepreneurship. Chemistry undergraduate degree programme is either a 3 or 4-year duration, with multiple entry and exit points and re-entry options and with proper UG and Bachelor certifications such as a UG certificate after completing 1 year (II-semesters), UG diploma after 2 years (IV-semesters), Bachelor’s degree after a 3-year (VI-semesters) and 4-year bachelor’s degree (honours/ honours with research) after eight semester’s programmes of study in Chemistry. The curriculum includes practical labs, research-based learning (RBL), and interdisciplinary subjects. Students can also engage in MOOCs, apprenticeships, or industry-linked projects. The program fosters modern chemical techniques, environmental consciousness, and ethical research. Emphasis on skill development, communication, and digital literacy ensures graduates are prepared for research, industry, or higher studies globally.
Programme Educational Objectives:
- To produce graduates having a strong background of basic science, interdisciplinary Sciences and ability to use the knowledge and tools.
- To produce graduates who can demonstrate technical competence in the field of chemical sciences and develop solutions of the complex problems.
- To produce graduates having professional competence and skills in the field of science to serve the society globally.
- To produce researcher who function effectively in a multi-disciplinary environment within a societal and environmental context.
- To produce graduates who would be able to take individual responsibility and work as a part of a team towards the fulfillment of both individual and organizational goals.
Program Outcomes (PO’s)
Science Graduates will have:
- Knowledge: Describe the fundamental scientific principles and apply the relevant knowledge of basic sciences especially chemical sciences to the problems of related to chemistry and emerge from the broader interdisciplinary subfields.
- Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex problems reaching substantiated conclusions using principles of physical sciences, and chemical sciences.
- Design/development of solutions: Design experiments that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
- Conduct investigations: Conduct laboratory experiments safely, use research-based knowledge, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
- Modern tools usage: Select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern software and ICT tools including prediction and modeling to complex scientific activities with an understanding of the limitations.
- Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the scientific solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need of sustainable development
- Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the scientific practices.
- Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams.
- Communication: Communicate effectively on complex scientific activities with community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations.
- Project management: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the chemical and biochemical principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects.
- Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological changes.
