and typically inexpensive; however theprocess to convert WVO into usable biodiesel is time consuming, requires a human operator torun the system, and necessitates a human to perform a chemical titration for each batch ofbiodiesel produced. Due to these requirements, a typical biodiesel processor requires muchoperator interaction which has not yet been eliminated by existing ―automated‖ systems. Groups of senior design students were engaged in the design, production, and testing of anautomated biodiesel processor. The source of the WVO for this project is the university’s foodservices and other nearby businesses. By converting this WVO to fuel for power generation, theoverall waste generated by the campus will be reduced and have a positive

The advisor acted as a mediator for these discussions, with the purposeof assisting the students in the weeding out of good and bad ideas, but the students were theresearchers, designers, presenters, and critics.

Initiative (SEI) of the CIVIS project strives to contribute to thenew energy workforce development efforts at UPRM. The SEI started in 2008 to providestudents a sustainable learning context in which they could learn about sustainable energy, getmotivated with the work in the area and a obtain a global perspective of their education inengineering. Within this context students are also expected to deepen their general educationskills, since they need a holistic perspective to better grasp sustainable energy concepts. The SEIillustrates some of the educational opportunities not only in energy economics, but also in theintegration of social issues in the analysis of a sustainable future.

The six potential revenue products are, waste stream elimination, biocharproduction, biocrude production, heat, carbon sequestration, and fuel gas. The project focus forthis research is small scale application, home, farm, and community. The goal is the creation of aviable method of augmenting building heating while producing useful products from pyrolosis.The work is sponsored by and EPA, P3 student grant. The paper also describes

better.At the University of Notre Dame, a robotic football competition was initiated in the spring of2008 as the main design project for the capstone course for all senior mechanical engineeringstudents. An advantage of a robotic football game is that the robustness of the students designsand manufacturing skills are tested in a way that they are not in FIRST or related competitions –the designs must consider being able to withstand significant impacts. Furthermore, it takesadvantage of the high (and growing) popularity of American football on college campuses.After repeating the competition in 2009, the coordinating faculty desired to reach out and includeanother university in the next competition. To do this, it was decided to invite a team of
