Course Description (1)Birmingham is a short drive from
the area described as the “Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution”, Ironbridge, Telford, Shropshire. We will study the scientific and technological advances associated with this period with a particular focus on the chemical basis for these advances.

Course Description (2)We will learn about the
contributions of some 18th and 19th century British chemists with a particular emphasis on individuals whose work furthered the Industrial Revolution and/or who had a connection to Birmingham and the Midlands.

Course Description (3)We will also study the impact of the
Industrial Revolution on society including the production of pollution and green house gases. In the context of contemporary industrialization, we will identify “green chemistry” solutions to the deleterious effects of the Industrial Revolution.
