Online Courses On Biorenewable Resources & Engineering Sustainability
2009 DOT-RITA Seed Award
PI: Dr. John Schluo (Kansas State University, Chemical Engineering)
Funded: $52,370
Start Date: 7/1/2009
End Date: 6/30/2011
Expected Outcomes
The two courses to be developed will directly impact the Biobased Products and Bioenergy
graduate certificate program at Kansas State University. The core course will provide
a coordinated interdisciplinary overview of the field. The course on engineering sustainability
will quantitatively address the sustainability issues necessary for informed engineering
decisions.
These courses and the graduate certificate program as a whole will have significant
value to industrial practitioners. Online delivery will be particularly valuable for
those individuals who are not located near a college or university.
