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.
