biofuel education in engineering. 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

Theses supervised byChemical Engineering faculty had slightly more journal citations than the overall total, whilethose supervised by faculty from Civil Engineering and Mining had substantially fewer. Thetheses supervised by Mining faculty also cited substantially more conference papers andtechnical reports. Approximately 20 percent of the citations in the Civil Engineering thesis werewebsites.Less than one percent of all citations were patent documents, which is surprising given thevolume of published patent applications related to fuel cell technology.
