Chemistry (12) A new upper-division course based upon the SENCER (Science Education for New Civic Engagements and Responsibilities) model is being developed. The course, "Industrial Processes and Their Impact on Society," utilizes the active learning-civic engagement approach. The major course goals are to forge better university relations/communications with local industry and to provide the community with timely and accurate information on the impact of industrial processes going on in the state of Montana. The course is based around field trips to five local plants from different sectors of chemical industry. The goals of the course for student impact include providing students with a fundamental understanding of the chemical and process design principles involved in making an industrial process economically viable, giving students the critical thinking tools needed to understand the impact of a given industry on the surrounding environment, and providing students with a balanced view of how local industry impacts the state economically, socially and environmentally.

化学(12)正在开发基于Sencer(新公民参与和责任的科学教育)模式的新的高年级课程。“工业流程及其对社会的影响”课程采用了积极学习--公民参与的方法。主要课程目标是与当地工业建立更好的大学关系/交流，并向社区提供关于蒙大拿州正在进行的工业过程的影响的及时和准确的信息。该课程基于对来自不同化学工业部门的五家当地工厂的实地考察。面向学生的课程目标包括让学生基本了解使工业过程在经济上可行所涉及的化学和工艺设计原则，为学生提供必要的批判性思维工具，以了解特定行业对周围环境的影响，并为学生提供关于当地工业如何影响州经济、社会和环境的平衡观点。
