thedifficulties that they encountered in learning new technologies. As engineering students andstudents who have grown up with technology, we had erroneously assumed that they would havean enthusiastic “dig into it” approach to technology. For example, we had erroneously assumedthat they would download and learn to use the graphing software we had recommended for theirreports; many did not. When students were not able to create data graphs or access data on theirgraphing calculator, we did not have the supports in place for them to learn how to do this. Weaddressed this in two ways in the re-design of the course. First, from the beginning of the course,we asked students to evaluate their own expertise with the graphing calculator. We used this self

Technology Group in The Netherlands. “Bio-oil can be used as a substitutefor fossil fuels to generate heat, power and / or chemicals. Short-term applications are boilers andfurnaces (including power stations), whereas turbines and diesel engines may become availableon the somewhat longer term. Upgrading of the bio-oil to a transportation fuel is technicallyfeasible, but needs further development. Transportation fuels such as methanol and fuels createdwith the Fischer-Tropsch process, can be derived from bio-oil. Furthermore, there is a widerange of chemicals that can be extracted or derived from the bio-oil.” [7] Generating the fuel on asmall scale with the BV system is a little presumptuous, but hopefully will find a market whenthe commercial

2011 program.IntroductionIn recent years, there has been a push in the United States to increase the number of studentspursuing and completing studies in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) disciplines.1,2 There are two primary tasks that are needed for this goal to beaccomplished. First, more students need to be attracted to pursue college-level studies in theSTEM fields. Second, once those students are attracted to a STEM field, the colleges anduniversities must provide an attractive, nurturing environment designed to allow a wide range ofstudents to succeed, while still providing a rigorous technical education.

In addition to the traditional types of assignments that focus on forms ofcorrosion and methods of testing for and mitigating corrosion, the course was redesigned to bringsustainability issues to the forefront; specifically with respect to undergraduate education.Much attention was paid to topics in the news and in recent journal articles and a special sectionwas added on corrosion issues associated with clean energy technologies. .
