segment. Toward this end, this paper will discuss major biorefinery concepts, specificapplications, and curriculum modification and incorporation techniques that can be used toachieve these efforts. The trends discussed here and their implications are critical for educators,because in coming years biorefining will be used to simultaneously meet the needs of our societyas well as that of environmental stewardship.IntroductionAs we move into the 21st century, it has become apparent that human societies are over-taxingglobal resources, and that we are rapidly depleting their finite supplies. This is especially true inthe petroleum and petrochemical sectors. Science and technology, however, have progressed tothe level that biorenewable materials can

Itwas designed around 4-5 projects with lectures and laboratory demonstrations performed by theinstructors (from both sides) to provide necessary background materials for students to carry onsuccessfully with their chosen projects. The major difficulties were the differences in the startdate and duration of the respective courses at each university and prevented our attempt tosynchronize student progress and interaction. The "technical" issues turned out to be easilysolved by each side using similar hardware and software.

Even in curricula were labs are offered, the approach used is generally atraditional one where students perform prescribed experiments with little or no critical reasoningof what they are performing 7.
