The “Thermochemical” pathway toprocess abundant cellulosic biomass affords an opportunity to develop atom economicalprocesses. Pyrolysis is one option being pursued. This two-step approach requires furtherupgrading to transportation fuels. Another option is thermal depolymerization that produces one-carbon product that can be reengineered to a variety of transportation biofuels such as ethanol,butanol, gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Approaches to achieve the next-generation synthesis ofthese desirable biofuels will be discussed.

In 1920, the first Organizing Conference of the FederatedAmerican Engineering Societies was held, a transcript of which provides a historical basisregarding the development of modern engineering majors [4]: In 1852 the American Society of Civil Engineers was founded.
