Reformed methanol and liquidhydrocarbons are expected to be major fuel sources in PEMFCs for use in terrestrialtransportation.18 The CO2 generated during catalytic reforming can be removed from the H2using the membrane-based technology and then used as a gasifying agent. Co-feeding of CO2recycled from the downstream processing of syngas and H2 from other sources can suppress theformation of CO2 from biomass and, thus, increase the CO concentration in syngas duringgasification.19MethodologyCenter directors identified the need to study how well the Center prepares graduate students toconduct research as part of formative evaluations of the Center in light of its mission.

Our study was guided by thefollowing two research questions: 1. What are the teaching experiences of new engineering student instructors at the graduate and undergraduate levels in the College of Engineering? How do they differ? 2. To what extent does the new instructor orientation satisfy the different needs of these instructors, especially as it relates to inclusive

Further, the experiencewas also shown to have had positive impacts on their post-graduation plans in terms of pursuingfurther study (graduate school) and/or pursuing an industry/government job in STEM.References[1] A.

Thisproject may be either a research project for the MS degree, or an engineering project for the ME degree.Since graduate credits are also earned for the project work periods, the student can earn up to 13 hours ofgraduate course credit prior to receiving the BS degree, and an additional 4 hours in the following summer.
