Biorefineries will revolutionize the utilization of the nation’s vast renewable supply of Figure 1. Major concepts associated with biorefineries. Page 11.278.4Figure 2. Major processes and material flows for an example biorefinery.biomass resources. Biorefineries provide two main advantages to production: they will increasethe productive utilization of feedstocks and increase returns to scale as additional products

Based on several measures,females were equally prepared for biological and agricultural engineering when compared withmales. However, differences were found in “hands-on” preparation and family background.IntroductionSince the early 1990’s the “pipeline theory” has been accepted as the dominant conceptualframework to describe the relationship between education and occupation

Page 11.1072.2restructuring. We will describe our efforts as they apply to the field of biological engineering ingeneral, the department’s overall curriculum, and specific educational / instructional activities.BackgroundDuring the early 1990’s enrollment was decreasing in agricultural related engineering programsaround the United States. Utah State University was no exception, with a total AgriculturalEngineering undergraduate enrollment approaching ten students. In response to the decline inenrollment and to address the emergence of the biological engineering degree programs aroundthe country the Biological Engineering degree program was created in 1993. Since then, it hasbeen the fastest growing undergraduate engineering discipline on
