对于一些专业、职业或技术导向的职业，高等教育机构提供的课程可能侧重于与单一学科相关的教材。相比之下，多学科，跨学科和跨学科教学（MITT）的结果改善情感和认知学习和批判性思维，为学习者/学生提供机会，以获得广泛的一般知识基础。化学是一门学科，位于科学，技术，工程，数学和医学（STEMM）学科（以及与STEMM学科一致或由STEMM学科提供信息的学科）的接口。本文讨论了将化学纳入高等教育MITT活动的重大潜力，以及在个人，组织，国家和全球背景下的现实世界的重要性。它概述了归因于传统高等教育基础设施的发展和实施挑战（这需要具有强大和支持性的管理和行政职能的创造性有远见的领导），以及确保包容性和协作并适当定位和平衡的课程设计。它总结了未来的可能性，特别强调化学作为一门学科，支撑着拥有数十亿美元营业额并在世界各地雇用数百万人的行业。
For some professionally, vocationally, or technically oriented careers, curricula delivered in higher education establishments may focus on teaching material related to a single discipline. By contrast, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary teaching (MITT) results in improved affective and cognitive learning and critical thinking, offering learners/students the opportunity to obtain a broad general knowledge base. Chemistry is a discipline that sits at the interface of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) subjects (and those aligned with or informed by STEMM subjects). This article discusses the significant potential of inclusion of chemistry in MITT activities in higher education and the real-world importance in personal, organizational, national, and global contexts. It outlines the development and implementation challenges attributed to legacy higher education infrastructures (that call for creative visionary leadership with strong and supportive management and administrative functions), and curriculum design that ensures inclusivity and collaboration and is pitched and balanced appropriately. It concludes with future possibilities, notably highlighting that chemistry, as a discipline, underpins industries that have multibillion dollar turnovers and employ millions of people across the world.
