Section XV
College of Science and Technology
In various forms, science and technology have played an important role in the development of all civilisations; this was particularly the case the past century, and science and technology promise to be of ever-increasing importance for our lives in the present century.
The courses offered by the College of Science and Technology not only aim to provide the students with a solid knowledge-base about selected disciplines. As should be the case with any good institute of higher learning, more advanced-level courses, in particular, are of sufficient depth to contribute to the students' intellectual development by training them to think clearly and creatively in a focused manner. This is to give them confidence in tackling and solving problems; including the communication of their results to others.
The mission of the College of Science and Technology is to produce graduates who have a good grounding in science and technology; and who thus have both the knowledge and the ability to use it to contribute to Cambodia's future socio-economic development.

Note: AS – Associate Degree; BS – Bachelor’s Degree
2. ADMISSION AND DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Students are encouraged
to read a wide variety of courses in
order to gain a breadth of knowledge; whilst, where possible at higher
levels,
they can follow particular tracks which give them a depth of knowledge
in one
particular area. In addition, proceeding through a course encourages
the
student to greater independence in both thinking and action, in
preparation for
the increased employers' expectations of them after graduation.
As oriented subjects for
the Foundation Year, a student must
do two of ITE102 (Introduction to
Computer Programming C++), ITE103
(Introduction to the Internet and Networking) and PHE101 (Personal Health and Wellness).
These are counted towards the balance of the student's electives.
ASSOCIATE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Apart from the General Education requirements set by the University of Cambodia and the balance of electives selected outside the area of the major, a student must do a minimum of 30 credits (equivalent to ten courses) in order to major in a discipline offered by the College of Science and Technology. .
BACHELOR’S DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Apart from the General Education requirements set by the University of Cambodia, Bachelor’s degree candidates doing a major in the College of Science and Technology must do a minimum of 54 credit hours (equivalent to eighteen courses) in their chosen topic (see individual Department entries for more detailed information about specific requirements).
In addition, a student must read the balance of electives selected from outside the area of the major: individual Departments may stipulate that some of these should be specific courses in other Departments. One possibility is that the student can choose a set of electives which counts as a minor in a different discipline (within the College of Science and Technology or in another college): at least 21 credit hours (equivalent to seven courses) is selected from a particular range on offer (note that the minimum number may vary between disciplines).
The College of Science and Technology has the following programs where minors comprising 21 credit hours can be read:
· Biology (with concentrations in various subdisciplines possible)
· Chemistry
· Information Technology
· Mathematics
· Physics
4. BIOLOGY
Biology is the study of living organisms, from the molecular level all the way up that of populations and ecosystems; and how they change over time as a result of adaptation and, over the generations, evolution.
A knowledge of Biology has been of considerable economic importance throughout history (although our ancestors might not have been aware that they were, loosely speaking, biologists): for example, for the obtaining of food (either from the wild or by farming); for improving medical knowledge and care-provision (partly as a result of studies on other animals); and for trying to create or recreate suitable environments to live in. Such contributions have been most marked over the past 50 years, as accumulating knowledge and increasingly sophisticated techniques have resulted in the birth of the biotechnology industry.
Biology is going through a major revolution as a result of the development of increasingly sophisticated analytical techniques at the molecular level. Indeed, many have suggested that Biology will be the science of the 21st century. For example, the Human Genome Project (with the preparation of a draft of all the instructions which are required by a fertilised egg to produce and maintain your body) has often been claimed to be the first step into the era of personalised medicine. Knowledge from this and other areas of molecular biology is now starting to have a major impact on our lives, with biotechnology being often proclaimed as the future not only for new ways of diagnosing and treating disease; but also for breeding improved crop plants and farm animals; for processing foodstuffs; and for producing better soap-powders, novel antibiotics, and other chemicals.
Perhaps more than most other spheres of human inquiry, the accumulating knowledge of Biology is vast in scope and diverse in nature; and it is rapidly getting ever more so with the wealth of information being obtained by rapidly-evolving molecular biological techniques. Given the breadth of the topic (and thus the range of courses which can be offered), it is recommended that a student who wants to major in Biology does one of a range of focus-groups, so that the opportunity to survey the wide landscape of Biology is balanced by an in-depth insight into one particular aspect. Various tracks are offered for students to follow, depending on their particular interests – from a focus on Molecular Biology & Genetics to one on Ecology & Conservation. Those tracks offered are ones which are relevant to Cambodia's needs at present (e.g. ones on Agriculture & Forestry; Aquaculture & Fisheries; Ecology & Conservation) and in the future (e.g. ones on Biochemistry & Physiology; Molecular Biology & Genetics).
Similarly, non-biologists can select to do minors in more specific fields of biology which are of relevance to Cambodia's present and future, and may therefore be of benefit to successful applicants (Agriculture; Aquaculture; Biotechnology; Conservation; Ecology; Fisheries).
ASSOCIATE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
In addition to the General Education requirements set by the University of Cambodia, an Associate degree requires a minimum of 30 credit hours (equivalent to ten courses) in Biology, together with the balance of electives selected from other Departments (which should include at least two chosen from CHM113, MTH120 and PHY113).
To fulfill their Biology requirements, students must take two essential level 100 courses (BIO111 and BIO112; BIO101 cannot be counted); since the Science component of the General Education requirement (GSC101 and GSC102) is a prerequisite for enrolling for these courses, this should be taken as early as possible. Thereafter, the student must select eight other Biology courses at levels 200 and 300 (those courses with the code 30x): what choices are open depends on course-availability and the student having fulfilled the necessary prerequisites.
BACHELOR’S DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
In addition to the General Education requirements set by the University of Cambodia, a Bachelor’s degree requires a minimum of 54 credit hours (equivalent to eighteen courses) in Biology, together with the balance of electives selected from other Departments (which preferably should include at least two chosen from CHM101, MTH120 and PHY101).
To fulfill their Biology requirements, students must take two essential level 100 courses (BIO111 and BIO112; BIO101 cannot be counted); since the Science component of the General Education requirement (GSC101 and GSC102) is a prerequisite for enrolling for these courses, this should be taken as early as possible. Thereafter, the student must do the six level 200 Biology core courses; and the remaining courses from the higher division (levels 300 and 400). The choice of courses (see below) is subject to availability and to the student having fulfilled the necessary prerequisites.
For a general education in the broad field of Biology (with a limited scope for some specialisation), it is suggested that the student do courses from the range BIO301 to BIO308 (MTH331 [Mathematics for Biology and the Health Sciences] is a potential alternative for one of these); together with four others from BIO401 to BIO407 (BIO491 is a potential alternative for one of these).
However, it is recommended that the selection of these and other upper-division courses is based on one of various focus-groups (see table, below). In this way, the student can get not only a broad overview of Biology but also a more in-depth insight into one particular aspect of this vast topic.

Chemistry is the study of the composition and properties of different materials, and how these can be made or modified. It is thus concerned with what makes us and our surroundings; so that its usefullness pervades every aspect of life.
For example, a knowledge of the fundamental principles of chemistry is of considerable importance for the production of countless consumer and industrial products, including medicines and pharmaceuticals. Also, the subject has become important for understanding the impact of such production techniques on the environment, as a result of pollution. There are also other, more specialised applications for chemistry: for example, in forensic analysis; and in biochemistry, which studies the nature of the composition of living organisms.

Information Technology is based on the systematic study of algorithmic processes – their theory, analysis, design, implementation, and application; and applying this knowledge to solve problems – creating the right model and then devising an appropriate computer manipulation for a solution. Thus, even though it is a relatively new field, Information Technology touches virtually every area of human endeavor.
The
Information Technology curriculum is both problem-solving and
applications
oriented. It is especially structured so that students obtain "real"
problem-solving experience. The undergraduate degree
program in Information
Technology has two focus-groups.
1) Computer
Science (CS) This concentrates
on computer and network hardware systems, their design and management,
and
programming principles and languages.
2) Information
Science (IS) This
concentrates on the fundamental techniques and knowledge used in
designing and
implementing information processing systems with an emphasis on systems
software design and computer organization.
Graduates in
Information Technology will find
ready
employment in almost any area of computer use: managing networks,
developing
software solutions, or designing systems for organizations, businesses,
and
government institutions.

8. PHYSICS
This has often been described as the 'Queen of Sciences' because of the belief that this discipline represents the intermediary by which other scientific disciplines can be reduced to mathematical analyses. Related to this, a knowledge of Physics is not only a rigorous mental training in its own right; but also has proved crucial for the resolution of many different types of technological problems, from those related to mechanical engineering, through those concerned with electrical and electronic engineering, to recent exciting advances in biomedical engineering. Other topics of interest to physicists include understanding other aspects of the world around us, including the nature (and possible origins) of matter, the universe, and everything: from the behaviour of subatomic particles to that of galaxies.
Thus, Physics is an intellectually challenging major. As the supposed bridge between Maths and the other Sciences, courses in mathematics form an important component of a major in Physics: in this way, students can get greater insights into fundamental aspects of the topics under consideration.
