The ultimategoal is to help prepare a technologically advanced workforce and innovative researchers for thebiofuels technology field. In this work, we present the classroom and web modules beingdeveloped. We will also discuss the integration of the modules into two chemical engineeringcourses: thermodynamics and reaction engineering.1 IntroductionIt has been argued that the advanced biofuel industry will have significant impact on U.S.economic recovery and its transition to a sustainable green economy.

In this view, students’ novice-like behaviorsmay be explained by their previous experiences in school settings: when framing a designactivity as a “classroom game” 25 or “doing school” 26, students may treat designproblems as well-defined textbook problems with clearly articulated initial states,identifiable collections of known variables, and set procedures for generating solutions27,28, 29 . Students may also draw from their other experiences (e.g., imaginative play,storytelling, problem solving) as they are making sense of an engineering design activity.In these instances, incorporating fantastical technologies might be justifiable; while inothers, navigating complex
