This course aims to enable students to demonstrate a deepened understanding of the application of organic chemistry in the industry. Organic compounds of industrial and commercial importance will be discussed, including their production and environmental impact, use, and the scaling of organic reactions.

Upon completing this course students will, through assessment activities, show evidence of their ability to:

1.    Elucidate the mechanisms of major industrial organic reactions;

2.    Formulate reaction conditions for the industrial synthesis and transformation of organic compounds, intermediates and fine chemicals;

3.    Evaluate the chemistry, use, environmental and economic impact of the basic building block chemicals derived from natural gas, petroleum and non-petroleum sources

4.    Evaluate the chemistry, use, environmental and economic impact of polymers derived from ethylene, propylene, butadiene, isobutene

5.    Describe the use of catalysts in industrial organic chemistry

6.    Discuss concepts of green chemistry and sustainability in the chemical industry

7.    Retrieve relevant information in scientific literature and demonstrate effective report writing, experimental design and data analysis.

This course provides instruction and practice in writing for the mass communication media with an emphasis on the development of the journalistic style. Students will learn the fundamentals of generating ideas for news writing, research, writing style and grammar, and the basics of on-line journalism and research. Through a variety of writing tasks, the course will equip students with language and writing skills, which will enable them to function effectively in the communication environment.

1. Evaluate the importance of different instrument and their use;
2. Demonstrate the practical application of the instrument and problems related to the instrument;
3. Apply the theoretical principles to solve the operational problem of the instrument;
4. Discuss comprehensively use of the instrument for everyday life and scientific purposes;
5. Analyse the principle of different instrument, its operation and evaluate the working output;

Develop and maintain useful engineering skills while still retaining an active grasp of the relevant physics

This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) with emphasis on transportation systems, communication systems, vehicle technologies, transportation planning, transportation policy, and urban planning. The course focuses on the application of IT’s to transportation infrastructure and vehicles, and how it enhances transportation safety, productivity, environment, and travel reliability. With the accessibility of mobile devices, ITS applications, such as trip planners, help travellers make informed travel choices.

The aim of the course is to equip students with the skills and knowledge required to work in a hospitality establishment's food preparation areas. Students should be able to develop advanced practical and reflective competence  for the department of Food and beverage and Food production

Introduction to Criminal Justice Studies is a foundational course in your studies of Criminal Justice and should assist you as a first-year student to conceptualise and contextualise the various components of the Criminal Justice System. The literature used in the course is mostly imported, while the course will be delivered with an emphasis on the Namibian Criminal Justice system. It provides an examination of the Namibian system of Criminal Justice, its agencies, and the processes that constitute it. The course content therefore focuses on the various functions of its sub-systems, i.e., Police, Prosecution, Judiciary, and Corrections, against the backdrop of the various approaches to explaining "crime.”

In the discipline of human resource management, training and development is the field concerned with organisational activity aimed at improving the performance of individuals and groups in organisational settings. Education, training, and development have been referred to as employee development, human resource development, and learning and development. Employee education, training, and development at the right time, ensure big payoffs for the employer in the form of increased productivity, knowledge, loyalty, and employee contributions.

People are the most important treasure in any organisation. How we lead, motivate, train and develop  employees is of utmost importance. To remain competitive, organisations need to have well motivated and highly performing employees. This can be achieved by training and developing employees.

This course exposes you to how to manage training in organisations, the factors that affect training environments, and how to determine training needs.

Enjoy the course. Remember: What we learn with joy, we never forget.

Have a great time throughout the semester.
