化学科学副教授（阿拉米达学院）

现代文明的基础是主要通过燃烧碳和碳氢化合物获得的能量，结果，自工业革命以来，我们大气中的二氧化碳含量一直在稳定增长。有哪些替代方案是可行的还是可行的“氢经济”？研究化学的原因很多。我们中的一些人主要是出于对自然和/或事物运作方式的好奇心：火星岩石的化学成分是什么？泰坦大气层的化学成分是什么？火箭推进和汽车安全气囊展开背后的化学反应是什么？通过成为医生，药剂师，牙医，护士等来帮助人们，因此需要了解生物学，药理学和人类生理学的化学基础。无论您学习化学的动机是什么，您都需要扎实的基础知识才能实现长期目标。这就是
The study of chemistry helps you understand the fundamentals controlling the interactions of elements and molecules which form the basis for our world and the universe You will learn about the chemical aspects of everyday life enabling you to understand the chemical foundations of the environment, energy, disease (causes and prevention), and the chemical basis of nutri-tion Knowledge of the discipline enables you to practice the protocols and techniques for working safely with chemicals Modern civilization is based on chemistry and its effects upon the environment and ourselves Some of the consequences are considered better than others, and studying chemistry allows us to search for alternatives that may be practical or feasible The Certificate of Achievement in General Chemistry is designed for students who want to complete the require- ments for employment in chemical-related fields, as well as for students who want to complete units required for a<br>B A in Chemistry at a four-year institution<br>Career Opportunities<br>Community college chemistry lab technicians, university entry-level lab technicians, lab support for commercial enterprises in related fields that require chemical lab technician expertise, such as refineries, environmental assessments, geochemistry, etc
