Abstract

This article delves into the growing significance of forensic science within criminal investigations and court proceedings, focusing on the pivotal role of forensic chemistry. Forensic chemistry, a sub-discipline of forensic science, is critical in examining physical evidence, encompassing substances like drugs, explosives, and toxic compounds. However, despite the escalating demand for forensic chemists in the job market, the public's awareness and knowledge of forensic chemistry, including university students, remains inadequately explored. Through a questionnaire study, this article presents the results that elucidate the extent of awareness and knowledge regarding forensic chemistry among university students. Additionally, this research examines the attitudes and perceptions of university students towards forensic chemistry education and career opportunities. The implications derived from the findings of this study are profound and have far-reaching consequences, specifically concerning forensic chemistry education, career development, and the enhancement of public comprehension surrounding forensic science.

Abstract

The Chemistry Department constantly works to enhance students' safety awareness through courses, seminars, and symposiums. One of the most critical safety topics is fire safety guidelines. A questionnaire was prepared to assess the students' understanding of fires, and 127 undergraduate and postgraduate students in the Chemistry Department participated.  The questions were prepared and focused on essential topics within the topic of the fire, through which the extent of students' knowledge of the research topic can be accurately determined. The Chemistry Department needs to make more efforts to enhance the safety culture, even though the students' answers can be considered valuable information. The students' suggestions came mainly from their need for more practical practices, firefighting activities, and the implementation of evacuation plans.
