Description and Table of Contents

Description

A key step toward embracing sustainability and green chemistry is educating the next generation of chemists about their importance. To this aim, the ACS-CEI Award for Incorporation of Sustainability into Chemistry Education recognizes exemplary contributions. This two-volume set contains chapters written by recent award winners. Chemistry Education for a Sustainable Society (Volume 2) explores innovations within the undergraduate chemistry curriculum. Chapters discuss tangible examples, such as integrating courses, connecting students with science-communication opportunities, and utilizing campus operations for lab activities.
