Appendix A Summary of Pre-Workshop Participant Survey Forty-three workshop participants answered a 10-question survey to gather information on the details of Green Chemistry (GC) and Green Engineering (GE) education issues of interest to the attendees. The mix of multiple-choice, yes-no, and open-ended questions cover who is interested, how should it be taught, who benefits, and funding. The questions together with the tabulated answers are listed below.
