The course is about how language acquires meaning in context. In many situations, what speakers mean goes beyond what they explicitly say. This course discusses models which have been proposed for explaining how these meanings are conveyed between cooperative interlocutors.

Personal selling occurs when a company representative interacts directly with a customer or prospective customer to present information about a product or service. It is a process of developing relationships, discovering needs, matching the appropriate products with these needs, and communicating benefits through informing, reminding, or persuading. Preparation for a career in personal selling begins with the development of a personal philosophy or set of beliefs that provides guidance. To some degree, this philosophy is like the rudder that steers a ship. Without a rudder, the ship’s direction is unpredictable. Without a personal philosophy, the salesperson’s behavior also is unpredictable.

Pyrometallurgy of Ferrous Metals 324 (PFM 720S) is a core course. It will equip students with competencies to analyse and design Iron and Steelmaking processes.
The goal of the course is to provide students with a fundamental understanding of the quantum chemical description of atoms and molecules. Particular emphasis is placed on the understanding of chemical structure elucidation and bonding together with the theoretical basis for quantum theory. The course provides the first practical experience and the future starting point for solving structural and dynamical problems in chemistry by applying spectroscopic experiments and quantum chemical calculations. Furthermore, the course provides the fundamental quantum chemical background required for further courses in molecular modelling, molecular spectroscopy, inorganic chemistry and physical organic chemistry.

Reinforced concrete is a versatile building material to which the present day’s constructions of buildings, bridges and many other infrastructure projects depend on. The course on Reinforced Concrete Design deals with the structural design of reinforced concrete elements. The content of this course includes the elements design such as beams, slabs, columns, foundation, retaining wall, reinforcement detailing and special types of slabs. Here, the word “design” refers to structural design that involves, the sizing of members like columns, slabs, walls, etc., characterization of materials used, provision of number and/or spacing of reinforcing rods at different salient cross sections, based on strength of the members required and the serviceability limits that the members should pass. The recognized code books at the places of design works govern the design philosophy and procedures to be adopted.
The fundamental objective of the course is to comprehend the design principles based on the philosophy that underpins the code of practice and then to independently perform the design of simple structural elements.
This course forms one of the core courses in the curriculum because a civil engineer needs to work with infrastructural project that involves reinforced concrete structural components and need to know about the cause and effect of loads on a structure or structural component, based on which should ascertain whether the member designed can safely withstand the load applied and be serviceable for the intended period.

Scientific writing, is an indispensable aspect of studentship (term paper and thesis writing) and scholarship (journal papers and all forms of scientific written communication). It is, therefore, a key step in the scientific communication process. It cannot be overlooked in undergraduate (honours) courses. This is designed to help students improve their abilities to effectively communicate research processes (from conceptualisation up to findings, and conclusion). In order to increase the emphasis on effective writing, this course gives succinct step-by-Step guide to scientific writing by breaking down the scientific writing process into easily digestible pieces to enable students become knowledgeable in writing their academic thesis. Academic thesis aside, the course exposes students to the scientific writing process, and insight into research paper writing as a core activity in the careers of land surveying and land administration experts in the industry and research institutions.
