EducationA robust educational program is an essential element of the Yale Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering. Center activities are focused on educating undergraduate and graduate students in the principles and practice of GC&E. The Center also serves the wider academic community by providing opportunities for faculty training and by developing and disseminating GC&E curriculum materials. A high quality, diverse educational program is achieved by including a broad range of sustainability sciences and engineering.On-going Activities:State of Science in Green Chemistry EducationA edited book is under development through a partnership with the American Chemical Society to capture the cutting-edge efforts of US institutions of higher education for integrating Green Chemistry and Engineering concepts into curriculum from K-12 through undergraduate and graduate studies including lectures, textbooks, laboratory experiments, and science fair projects.New textbook under development to be published by John Wiley and SonsA new textbook entitled "Environmental Engineering: Fundamentals and Design" is currently under development that focuses on the use and implementation of sustainability concepts and green engineering in environmental engineering design and processes. The anticipated publication date is Summer 2008. |
