technology(Schumacher, 1973).Project 1: Developing a Novel Low Cost Biodiesel and Biochar Processor for Rural Cameroon UsingLocally Sourced Materials and FeedstocksThe principle objective of this project was to develop a low-cost, environmentally benign technology forproducing biodiesel and the associated raw materials, i.e. methanol and base catalyst, from locally availableresources available in rural Cameroon in sub-Saharan Africa (Seay, et al., 2014, Seay and Lumkes, 2014).To achieve this objective, three tasks were required: Design a low cost process for generating biochar and methanol by destructive wood distillation, Design a low cost process for generating biodiesel from locally sourced feedstocks, Complete the mechanical design and

students and can make suggestions if they notice thata team has not self-corrected a problem in the adoption of agile practices after some time.They make sure that the executed process of a team remains agile and that core agilepractices are adhered to correctly.17 While this approach requires a definite increase in theamount of time spent on supervision and support of teams, it makes up for it by allowingstudents to discover the benefits of agile values for themselves. By being allowed to makemistakes and leveraging agile practices to overcome them, students are able to discover andinternalize the benefits of agile values.References 1.
