and processing technologies, including harvesting, dewatering, and chemicalseparation, all have technical challenges to overcome. Also, all these processes are energyintensive and/or involve significant water loss.If the industry is to succeed in developing sustainable technologies, as is the vision of the AlgalBiomass Organization, the industry will need engineers that are environmentally conscious, workwell on interdisciplinary teams, and perform interdisciplinary work. For example, a company atthe Algae Biomass Summit in 2010 told us they had an immediate need for recent mechanicalengineering graduates who can also do mass-spectrometry. These kinds of requests for inter-disciplinary skills are expected, and we as educators of engineers

Considering that the internal combustion engine is a well-established technology,this may not be that surprising. However, if the students were as a group inclined to take onmore challenging projects, there may have been more projects along the lines of #9, where agroup attempted to take a newer technological development and apply it to an older engine.
