To help bridge this gap, we have been creatingeducational materials that systematically integrate biofuels technology into undergraduatechemical engineering curriculum. The modular approach we proposed aims to address some ofthe major obstacles of introducing biofuel education into chemical engineering curricula.1 IntroductionIt has been argued that advanced biofuel industry will have significant impact on U.S. economicrecovery and its transition to a sustainable green economy. The U.S. National Academies haveidentified renewable energy as a national scientific strategy aimed at replacing the oil-basedrefinery and transitioning to a green economy. 1 In addition, as shown in a 2009 BiotechnologyIndustry

the teaching of concepts in an introductory thermodynamics coursethrough video. This generation of students is technology savvy, and regularly communicates bymeans other than face-to-face interactions (e.g. texting). Additionally, the popularity of sites suchas Khan Academy makes the idea of teaching with video difficult to ignore. Thus, we assert thatthere is value in using this media for instruction, and that this media can be leveraged for use in achemical engineering course. During this study, students will be asked to 1) take a conceptdiscussed during class, and articulate it in video media using everyday examples that otherstudents can relate to (autodidactic learning) 2) watch peer-made videos that teach these concepts(peer-to-peer
