教育目標

This course provides a foundational and applied understanding of green chemistry and its essential role in achieving sustainable development and environmental stewardship. It is designed to cater to both non-science undergraduate students and graduate-level engineers, enabling interdisciplinary engagement. The course introduces the guiding principles of green chemistry, explores cleaner production strategies, and highlights their relevance to industrial systems, materials design, and regulatory contexts. Through the use of lectures, case studies, and collaborative projects, students will develop a contextual appreciation of how green chemistry can drive innovation while minimizing environmental and health impacts. Graduate participants will additionally explore mechanistic insights and quantitative evaluations that deepen their capacity for research and advanced problem-solving in sustainable process design. This course aims to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of green chemistry principles and their application in promoting sustainability and cleaner production. Students will learn to analyze and redesign industrial chemical processes using green metrics such as atom economy and life cycle assessments, while developing fluency in the roles of solvents, catalysts, and renewable feedstocks in achieving environmental efficiency. They will explore how to assess and compare synthetic routes from both environmental and technical perspectives and interpret policy and regulatory frameworks relevant to sustainable chemical practices. By the end of the course, students will be prepared to design and critique chemical and materials production systems through the lens of safety, efficiency, and sustainability, and collaborate in interdisciplinary teams to propose innovative, real-world solutions.
