the impact of changes in the curriculum on attitudes and identity development. Theproject team plans to implement all the synergistic approach components during the Fall 2021and Spring 2022 semesters. With the full implementations, the research team will be able toanalyze each element's impact, redesign and enact again.During the Fall 2020 semester, the project team reached out to industry mentors, and manyindustry mentors graciously agreed to volunteer for the project. Even though other mentors werewilling to volunteer for the project, the project team chose two industry mentors to work onindustry-relevant problem designs due to time constraints. Industry mentors, course instructorand the project team met and brainstormed the design criteria

support as they enter theirsecond year of implementation, which will allow us to focus on new participants.Year 4 and 5 workshops are tentatively scheduled for 2021 and 2022. Because the DLMmanufacturing is ahead of schedule and year 2 implementations are going as expected, theycould take place earlier. We also will have shorter trainings at the ASEE ChED summer schooland 2021 and 2022 ASEE Annual Meeting conferences for additional faculty who are interested.Acknowledgements:Support for this project comes thorough NSF IUSE funding through grant nos. DUE 1821578and 1821679. The authors are appreciative for the efforts made by Prof. Mohammad Hossan whowas responsible for on-site coordination of the University of Central Oklahoma hub logistics

. Educational materials that introduce students to concepts of energy generation and usageare important. The National Science Board has recently called the transformation of the U.S.fossil fuel-based energy economy to a sustainable energy economy a critical grand challengefacing the country (NSB, 2009). Furthermore, the US Department of Energy has called forreplacing 30% of the nation’s fossil-based fuels by 2030 (U.S. DOE 2008). Additionally, theEnergy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) (Public Law, 2007) mandates theproduction of 36 billion gallons per year of biofuels by 2022, of which 21 billion must come Page 25.180.2from feedstock

Acrylic Acid via an Allyl Alcohol IntermediateIntroduction Glycerol is a main byproduct of biodiesel production. As the biodiesel industry has grown, sohas the supply of glycerol, which is currently oversupplied in the market [1]. One valuable chemicalproduct that can be produced from glycerol is acrylic acid. Acrylic acid is used in the manufacturing ofplastics, coatings, paints, textiles, and more. The global market for acrylic acid is projected to reach$22.55 billion by 2022 [2, 3]. Previous methods of producing acrylic acid have been abandoned forenvironmental and economic reasons. Many mechanisms for the conversion of glycerol to acrylic acidhave been studied but not commercialized due to rapid deactivation of the catalyst [1, 4
