Overview

Pilot study integrates green chemistry in lower-division courses, demonstrating practical sustainability education approaches.

Key Points

  • The study aims to integrate green chemistry principles through material recycling in lower-division laboratory courses.
  • Conducted a cross-curricular pilot study over two academic years.
  • Students synthesized, purified, and transformed aspirin across three chemistry courses.
  • Assessed understanding of green chemistry through embedded final questions based on Bloom’s Taxonomy.
  • Students demonstrated recognition of green chemistry concepts post-assessment.
  • Material recycling was logistically feasible with minimal disruptions to curriculum.
  • The approach serves as a model for sustainability education in resource-limited institutions.
