Green Chemistry Case Studies in the Undergraduate Curriculum

The current ACS Guidelines for Undergraduate Chemistry Programs include requirements to introduce students to green chemistry, sustainability, and systems thinking ideas. Specifically, the guidelines encourage using case studies to teach these topics and connect chemistry content to environmental, health, regulatory, and business considerations that influence chemical processes and product design. This technical session will feature examples of case studies currently being used by educators as well as real-world examples from industry experts that could inspire new classroom lessons.
