I will describe a course that I am team-teaching with a physicist and a biologist at the Monterey Institute of International Studies (miis.edu). MIIS provides international professional education in areas of critical importance to a rapidly changing global community. The course is offered for students in the Nonproliferation and Terrorism Studies department and is called Science and Technology NPTS. I will describe how I have used my textbook (An Introduction to Chemistry � Atoms First) to teach some introductory chemistry in the context of presenting important topics related to global security. I will give a quick tour of three websites that support the class (preparatorychemistry.com, institutebishop.org/science_technology.htm, and wikispaces.com), and I will provide resources that other instructors can use in their classes.
