Abstract

The challenges that humanity is facing spur universities to reorganize chemistry education. A contribution to the project of reimagining chemistry education is a novel interdisciplinary course that presents the properties of complex systems through the theories of out-of-equilibrium thermodynamics, nonlinear dynamics, and natural computing. This course introduces upper-division undergraduate, graduate, or Ph.D. students to systems thinking and interdisciplinary knowledge about complex systems, which are two relevant assets for tackling the challenges of the 21st century.
