Abstract
We report the development of a one-semester lecture and laboratory course in inorganic chemistry that focuses on industrially relevant topics. It provides the students—both chemistry and chemical engineering majors—with a realistic perspective and appreciation for this important branch of chemistry and chemical technology, thus better preparing them for future careers in industry. We summarize the topics considered in the lecture part of the course, the learning objectives and organization of the course, and the underlying teaching philosophy. A summary of the associated laboratory, which both illustrates and complements the lecture topics, is included. The course is team-taught by faculty from chemistry and chemical engineering. We found this partnership to represent a great strength, since fundamental issues of chemistry (bonding, reactivity, physical properties) and fundamental aspects of chemical engineering (material and energy balances, process design) are interlocked, and each aspect is presented by an instructor in that field.
