Development of a Materials-Oriented General Chemistry Course

材料化学将被引入化学导论 通过编写《材料化学》课程 普通化学的伴侣。“由文本、问题组成 成套设备、模型套件、软件以及演示和实验室 实验中，“伴侣”将显示几乎每一个 一般化学课程中讨论的主题可以是 用材料中的例子和概念来说明 化学. 材料化学的引入有望 振兴普通化学。 新材料将拓宽 提高科技素养 学生们学习化学所起的重要作用， 化学家在我们的材料密集型世界。 列入 材料化学入门课程将增加 追求高质量学生的数量和多样性 在化学及其许多相关的科学和 工程学科

Materials Chemistry will be brought into introductory chemistry courses through the preparation of "A Materials Chemistry Companion to General Chemistry." Consisting of text, problem sets, model kits, software, and demonstration and laboratory experiments, the "Companion" will show how virtually every topic typically discussed in general chemistry courses can be illustrated with examples and concepts from materials chemistry. The introduction of materials chemistry promises to revitalize general chemistry. The new material will broaden and enhance the scientific and technological literacy of students as they learn the vital roles played by chemistry and chemists in our materials-intensive world. Inclusion of materials chemistry in introductory courses will increase the number and diversity of high-quality students who pursue careers in chemistry and in its many related scientific and engineering disciplines.
