| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This course aims to learn basic chemistry and biology essential for environmental science and technology. This course is divided into two parts. The first half is basic water chemistry and analytical chemistry. The second half is biology including structure of major biomolecules, central dogma and respiratory system and energy metabolism. | |||
| Course Goals | To learn basic chemistry and biology essential for environmental science and technology. | |||
