Targeted Infusion Project: Enhancement of Undergraduate Chemistry Program through Integration of Sustainable Chemistry

历史上的黑人学院和大学本科生计划（HBCU-UP）通过有针对性的输液项目支持开发，实施和基于证据的创新模式和方法的研究，以提高HBCU本科生的准备和成功，使他们可以追求STEM研究生课程和/或职业。特拉华州州立大学的这一项目旨在通过在课程和实验室中注入可持续化学概念来加强本科化学课程，目的是提高化学专业的招生率、保留率和毕业率。2）在现有的化学本科课程中加入可持续发展和绿色化学的概念; 3）将学习与实践可持续化学研究经验结合起来; 4）在大学推广可持续化学意识;（五）广泛宣传项目成果。该项目预计将影响特拉华州州立大学的所有本科化学专业。该项目将创造有关本科生如何学习化学的知识时，该主题是在绿色化学，环境管理，气候变化，粮食安全和可持续发展的其他方面的背景下教授。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) through Targeted Infusion Projects supports the development, implementation, and study of evidence-based innovative models and approaches for improving the preparation and success of HBCU undergraduate students so that they may pursue STEM graduate programs and/or careers. The project at Delaware State University seeks to enhance the undergraduate chemistry program in by infusing sustainable chemistry concepts in courses and laboratories, with the goal to increase recruitment, retention, and graduation rates of chemistry majors.The specific objectives of the project are to: 1) develop a course and laboratory in sustainable chemistry; 2) infuse sustainability and green chemistry concepts in the existing chemistry undergraduate curriculum; 3) integrate learning with hands-on sustainable chemistry research experiences; 4) promote sustainable chemistry awareness at the university; and 5) widely disseminate the results of the project. The project is projected to impact all undergraduate chemistry majors at Delaware State University. The project will create knowledge related to how undergraduate students learn chemistry when the subject is taught in the context of green chemistry, environmental stewardship, climate change, food security and other aspects of sustainability.
