requirements currently in place. Therefore, it is beneficial to examine othermechanisms for incorporating biorefinery instruction, either as individual topics, components, orunits that can be used as specific learning modules, into existing coursework. Many approacheshave been found to be quite successful vis-à-vis augmenting engineering instruction by insertingadditional materials into mainstream instruction [62]. Addressing engineering ethics is a primeexample. Some avenues that have been shown to work well include integrating focusedcomponents (theory as well as case study analyses) into specific technical courses [63-67],examining issues during technical problem solving in specific technical courses [68], issues andtopics for review during
