Guerris, Manuel; Cuadros, Jordi; Gonzalez-Sabate, Lucinio; Serrano, Vanessa – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2020
The public image of chemistry is a relevant issue for chemical stakeholders. It has been studied throughout history by means of document analysis and more recently through surveys. Twitter, a worldwide online social network, is based on spontaneous opinions. We tried to identify the public perception of chemistry on Twitter, what it explains, and…

Darensbourg, Donald J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Because fossil fuels are a nonrenewable resource, alternative sources of chemical carbon will be necessary as petroleum based chemicals decline during the 21st century. Carbon dioxide can serve as a source of carbon for the synthesis of useful chemicals, thereby contributing to a sustainable chemical industry. A promising technology for…

Kennedy, Sarah A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
The green chemistry course taught at Westminster College (PA) incorporates nontraditional teaching techniques and texts to educate future chemists about the importance of using green chemistry principles. The course is designed to introduce green chemistry concepts and demonstrate their inherent necessity by discussing historical missteps by the…

Shin, Jung Cheol; Lee, Soo Jeung – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2015
This article focuses on South Korea, where the basis of the economy rapidly transformed from labor-intensive industries to heavy/chemical industries and then to technology-based industries within a short time period. The Korean case shows how national research systems evolve along with economic development. On the other hand, such rapid research…

Pinto, Gabriel; Garrido-Escudero, Amalio – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
We present ideas about how to incorporate discussion of a paintings collection in chemistry classrooms. Specifically, it is a collection of paintings that have illustrated calendars since 1900, from a traditional Spanish explosives company (founded by Alfred Nobel and now known as Maxam). The case is discussed in relation to the "chemistry in…

Glaucia H. C. Prado – Chemical Engineering Education, 2024
A chemical engineering degree offers the possibility of a variety of career paths including food and beverage industry. However, chemical engineering students are rarely exposed to food processing examples during their education. Therefore, a new elective food processing course was developed and offered for the first time in the department of…

Hipólito-Nájera, A. Ricardo; Moya-Hernandez, M. Rosario; Gomez-Balderas, Rodolfo; Rojas-Hernandez, Alberto; Romero-Romo, Mario – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Validation of analytical methods is a fundamental subject for chemical analysts working in chemical industries. These methods are also relevant for pharmaceutical enterprises, biotechnology firms, analytical service laboratories, government departments, and regulatory agencies. Therefore, for undergraduate students enrolled in majors in the field…
