An integrated perspective of electrochemistry teaching in science and technology

Abstract

A perspective on the teaching of electrochemistry for science and engineering students is discussed followed by the elements and components of a wide-ranging course that can be adapted to the needs of each science and/or engineering students and, indeed, the scientific community and society at large. For all, there is a pressing need to be able to reflect critically on the knowledge gained, so that in their future careers they are able to take scientific, political and economic decisions involving different aspects of electrochemistry in the best way, particularly regarding energy, materials, health, foods and environment.
