Interdisciplinary Connections
Color Science, a Course for Nonscience Majors
Maria C. Gelabert
Department of Chemistry and Physics, Wagner College, Staten Island, NY 10310
Cover
August 2006
Vol. 83 No. 8
p. 1155
Abstract
Color Science, a nonmajor chemistry course, was designed to incorporate a rich theoretical base in chemistry and physics with many applicable technologies. The author describes how course development proceeded, combining overarching goals in science literacy with student feedback to drive course improvement. Four aspects applicable to any science course are outlined: method, subject, quantitative rigor, and context. Several components of Color Science are elaborated within these elements to describe this interdisciplinary course, adapted from a similar course at another institution and modified to include more aspects of chemistry.
