Most of the sunflower seed pro-duced is processed into cooking oil. Farm production in North Dakota has been hampered byoccasional shortages of petroleum fuels. Sunflower oilhas been suggested as a fuel that would serve as an alter-native to diesel fuel during periods of petroleum shortage.Sunflower oil used as fuel could insure a supply ofagricultural products if petroleum supplies are unavailable.

There are also related goals, such as learning to use development tools, lab equipmentand proper debugging techniques. There are tangential goals such as working in teams andpreparation for senior/capstone projects. And while there are a variety of approaches to teaching,the common theme is that you want the students to be successful and understand the material asthoroughly as possible.Each year, there are new peripherals, new processors and most engineering departments do not takea static approach to education and try to include more

Failure to recognizethe last component results in a phenomenon known as leveraging in which the merit of a projectis artificially inflated. This paper introduces the basic concepts of financing projects, and then itprovides a succinct theoretical framework that
