Online Courses on Biorenewable Resources and on Engineering Sustainability

项目名称：	Online Courses on Biorenewable Resources and on Engineering Sustainability
摘要：	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. With the mix of these two courses and the coursework at Kansas State University already available via distance education, the potential exists for individuals to complete the graduate certificate through the Division of Continuing Education. Thus, all of the opportunities above would be available to the entire South Central Sun Grant region. In addition to the courses that will be developed, the outcomes will also be communicated at a national professional conference. Publication of at least three papers, one on each course as well as part of a graduate capstone course, are anticipated in engineering education journals.
