Education, 2006 BIOREFINING OF RENEWABLE RESOURCES – EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENGINEERING EDUCATIONAbstractThe society in which we live has developed an insatiable demand for energy and material goods.Historically these needs have primarily been met by utilizing fossil fuels and other non-renewable raw materials. As environmental concerns grow, however, renewable resources aregaining increased attention. This paper examines industrial biorefineries, which are at theleading edge of the development of emerging biobased industries. Biorefineries, similar inconcept to traditional petroleum refineries, utilize various conversion technologies to producemultiple products, including fuels, chemicals, industrial products, and electrical

Moral complexities in the engineeringprofession have been highlighted through exposure to historical development, ethical reasoning,risk assessment, effects on environment, and global issues. Workplace responsibilities andprofessional codes of ethics are discussed. Several case studies are presented as well.IntroductionIt has been apparent for some time that engineering education must provide insight for studentsrelated to the ethical issues in the engineering profession. Recently, the National Academy ofEngineering published The Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century topredict the roles that engineers will play in the future1.

Data gathered for the analysis is based on a non-biaseduniformly distributed lab setting focused on using smart materials to determine the vibrationfrequency of a cantilever beam. The lab setup is a part of a Green Energy Materials &Engineering course offered in the summer 2014 semester. This class introduced students to theconcepts of Green Manufacturing, Green Technologies in industries, and Fabricating advancedGreen Energy devices. The framework used for gathering unbiased data

Stimulated by similar ideals, in the early 1990s engineers took up the challenge andindependently organized a number of groups going under some form of the name “Engineerswithout Borders”: Ingénieurs Sans Frontieres (France) – Ingénieurs Assistance Internationale Page 12.1488.2(Belgium), Ingeniería Sin Fronteras (Spain), Ingenierer unden Graenser (Denmark), Ingenjöreroch Naturvetare utan Gräser-Sverige (Sweden), Ingegnería Senza Frontiere (Italy), and others.In 2003 these groups organized “Engineers

As part of thecourse, students were engaged in a semester-long project that resulted in the development byeach student of an energy policy that outlined the direction that they thought the United Statesshould take over the next 25 years with regards to electricity generation.The project consisted of several steps. First, each student had to choose one of nine possibleelectricity-generation techniques to research in depth. The students were then given two monthsto research the current state and projected improvements of their chosen technology, as well asthe economics, environmental impact, and public perception of their technology. The studentsthen were asked to prepare two reports on their

During myundergrad, I took part in the Engineering and Society program at McMaster University, andduring my current graduate work, I am a part of the Centre for Technology and SocialDevelopment at the University of Toronto. Each program attempts to teach students how to thinkmore broadly, balancing breadth and depth in order to develop a new approach to engineeringproblems.

synchronous onlineinteraction would be higher.Conclusions This study seeks to develop an understanding of the quantity, type, and drivers ofsynchronous online student interaction in a Systems Engineering context. The results of thiswork demonstrate that the synchronous online mode of learning is a popular means of engagingwith distance learning technology. When prompted through some explicit instructor actions anda culture of inclusivity (regarding prompting, wait time, scheduled presentations), thesynchronous online students interact often and with high-quality. This paper demonstrates how adetailed and quantitative assessment may be conducted to inform the course structure andinstructor training of a Systems Engineering education program
workforce as educated engineers and scientists capable of continuing the growth of theindustry. As technologies advance, the manufacturing and scientific processes involved canbecome more difficult, and it can be hard to develop quick, simple demonstrations for student labclasses.One example of this is in the field of electrostatic propulsion. In electrostatic propulsion, a lowmass flow rate of propellant is accelerated to high exhaust velocities using electrostatic fields.Gridded ion thrusters and Hall thrusters are the two most common electrostatic propulsiondevices, but these can be difficult to build and operate in standard workshops, particularly whenconcerning grids for ion thrusters and the ceramic annular channel in Hall thrusters.
