’ reactors patternedafter the AzTE unit will be built on the current site. As oil prices rise, interest in constructing apilot farm is increasing as well. The faculty is working to involve students from biologicalsciences and from electrical and mechanical engineering technology in the design andconstruction of the units, and they are expected to become a major feature at the ASUPolytechnic campus.
