The project is creating educational materials that systematically integrate bio-fuel technology into the undergraduate chemical engineering curriculum. As a part of this effort, the investigators are implementing and evaluating web-based teaching strategies in order to improve student engagement and learning. Specifically, they are creating a set of comprehensive, flexible classroom and web-based modules that can be integrated easily into current chemical engineering curricula and adopted by other educators. Each classroom learning module contains: links to commonly used textbooks for easy integration; different levels of learning objectives based on Bloom's Taxonomy; background information including motivation, process introduction, a discussion of related fundamental principles and concepts; example problems and solutions; a summary; links to web module that will promote active learning and student engagement; homework problems at different difficulty levels; and comprehensive, open-ended design problems. Materials and results are being disseminated through posting on a project website and on a website for sharing material among chemical engineering faculty members (the CACHE site); through presentations at AICHE and ASEE meetings; through papers submitted to archived journals; and through a targeted outreach effort to chemical engineering faculty members at other universities. Evaluation efforts include both a review of the material by faculty members, students and industrial practitioners, and the use of student surveys, focus groups, and the SLAG instrument under the direction of an independent evaluator from one of the participating institutions' teaching and learning centers. Broader impacts involve the dissemination of the instructional materials, particularly through the CACHE site and the targeted outreach to faculty members at other sites.

该项目正在创建教育材料，将生物燃料技术系统地整合到本科化学工程课程中。 作为这项工作的一部分，研究人员正在实施和评估基于Web的教学策略，以改善学生的参与和学习。 具体来说，他们正在创建一组全面，灵活的课堂和基于网络的模块，这些模块可以轻松地集成到当前的化学工程课程中并被其他教育者采用。 每个课堂学习模块都包含：通用常用教科书的链接，以便于集成；基于Bloom的分类法的不同水平的学习目标；背景信息在内，包括动机，过程介绍，讨论相关的基本原理和概念；示例问题和解决方案；摘要；将链接到Web模块，该模块将促进积极学习和学生参与度；不同难度水平的作业问题；和全面的开放式设计问题。 材料和结果通过在项目网站和网站上发布，以共享化学工程教师（高速缓存网站）的材料；通过在AICHE和ASEE会议上的演讲；通过提交归档期刊的论文；通过针对其他大学化学工程教师的有针对性的外展工作。 评估工作包括教职员工，学生和工业从业人员对材料的审查，以及在参与机构的教学中心之一的独立评估者的指导下使用学生调查，焦点小组和炉渣工具。更广泛的影响涉及传播教学材料，尤其是通过缓存站点和其他站点的有针对性的向教职员工推广。
