Page 26.10.21 IntroductionRetina is a light-sensitive layer of tissue (Figure 1), located at the inner surfaceof the eye. The optics of the eye creates an image on the retina, similar tothe film in a camera. Light striking the retina activates nerve impulses. Thesepulses are sent to various parts of the brain through the optic nerve. Retinascans require that the person removes their glasses, place their eye close tothe scanner. A retinal scan involves the use of a low-intensity coherent lightsource, which is projected onto the retina . A retina scan cannot be faked andit is impossible to forge a human retina. Furthermore, the retina of a deceasedperson decays too rapidly to be used to deceive a retinal scan [17, 18]. Therecognition of a

Also, the students expressed strong interest to further improve theirproblem-solving skills through similar future sessions.

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.

applications of DSP that can helpcaptivate students and motivate them to learn the theoretical material. Perhaps the best way toexpose students to the applications of DSP is with a laboratory course, but at some institutions afull laboratory course in DSP is not feasible due to time, space, and funding constraints.Alternatives to laboratories include projects, simulations, and demonstrations. Although manyDSP algorithms can be demonstrated using offline (not real-time) processing, somedemonstrations are just more compelling if they operate in real-time. A real-time demonstrationwith audio signals, for example, can be more interesting because the user can use his/her ownvoice as the input and hear the results immediately.Many authors have explored
