Development of an Upper Division SENCER Based Course, "Industrial Processes and Their Impact on Society"

化学（12）一个新的高年级课程的基础上SENCER（科学教育的新公民参与和责任）模型正在开发。 “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。主要课程的目标是建立更好的大学关系/与当地产业的沟通，并为社会提供及时和准确的信息，对工业过程的影响正在蒙大拿州。 该课程是基于实地考察五个当地工厂从不同部门的化学工业。 该课程对学生影响的目标包括为学生提供对化学和工艺设计原则的基本理解，使工业过程在经济上可行，为学生提供理解给定行业对周围环境的影响所需的批判性思维工具，并为学生提供当地工业如何影响国家经济，社会和环境的平衡观点。

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.
