Molecular Synthesis of Plant-based Chemicals is a significantly moresustainable means to produce pharmaceuticals, industrial molecules, but there is a need to educateand train young minds in the methods, practices, and processes of MSPC. Clary sage, Salviasclarea, is an MSPC success story and a cautionary tale of the need to be aware of scientific trends.Clary sage oil contains the diterpene sclareol that is used to produce ambroxide that is areplacement for ambergris, an expensive and rare perfume ingredient. Around 120 family farms inNorth Carolina depend on Clary sage production, a success story that can be traced back toattempts to commercialize its production in the 1950’s in Washington state

One studentshared with us that “I love demos. You are interacting, and you are not just watching a YouTubevideo.” The variation between the responses to the quiz questions and the activity questions maybe explained by Watson et al.’s [30] understanding from previous studies, where students tend toover-estimate their attitudes.We understand that these results are not to be generalized to all groups of environmentalengineering students.
