Abstract

Electrochemistry education of future researchers is crucial if we are to decarbonise economies and reach targets for net zero, and this arguably begins with education in electrochemistry within undergraduate degrees. This paper reviews the teaching of electrochemistry in UK universities at the undergraduate degree level. We review where and how electrochemical concepts are introduced into chemistry, chemical engineering and materials science programmes. We provide some motivation for this review, which was stimulated by discussions from a workshop on the 'Future of Fundamental Electrochemistry Research in the UK', held in 2022. We summarise briefly how consensus on UK degree programme course content has been reached and inconsistencies that remain. Electrochemistry curriculum content from a convenience sample of UK universities, and disciplines, has been collected and is summarised, with a reflection on some trends. Finally, we present some implications for policy. A roadmap is suggested to ensure that the teaching of electrochemical fundamentals is addressed in the curriculum at an appropriate level to underpin the many technically relevant applications of electrochemistry that graduates will encounter in their further education or employment.

Abstract

International audience; The essential contribution of education to safety and loss prevention is emphasized in this paper. It provides a review of the chemical engineering undergraduate and graduate French curriculum "Process safety". First, the specific situation of the French chemical engineering departments is situated in the Bologna Accord. Then the three main ways to teach occupational health, safety and loss prevention in chemical engineering cursus are discussed. The principle of a layered approach is reported with the corresponding levels of outcomes, compe-tences and safe work practice expectations. The content of the undergraduate safety mandatory program of the French University Institutes of Technology (IUT) is indicated for the concerned chemical engineering departments. Finally, some selected detailed lists of the different safety mandatory and elective courses concerning the corresponding French Master degrees (topics-time allocation and European Credit Transfer and accumulation System ECTS) in two Chemical Engineering Schools ENSIC Nancy and ENSIACET Toulouse are commented.

Abstract

Property, Presence, and Practice: Preliminary Research on IT and Instruction in Higher Education SettingsWe will present some preliminary results from a multi-year study of the implementation of Information Technology (IT) in educational activities. The study encompasses three fields: anthropology, biology, and chemistry/chemical engineering, across three different kinds of institutions: private technology-centered Research 1, a Research 1 public university, and a private liberal arts institution. We are examining work practices, intellectual property issues, and issues of 'epistemography' or what counts as knowledge in these various settings. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
