当学生从本质上受到主题的激励时，学生的学习会大大提高。对许多学生来说，生物燃料的话题吸引了他们对环境“有所作为”的内在愿望。在凯特林大学，一个由工程师和科学家组成的跨学科小组通过将生物燃料主题引入课堂并提供本科生研究和项目经验，成功地激励了学生。通过这些经验，学生们正在学习他们的学科的基础知识，并发展与生产和利用生物燃料相关的机遇和挑战的理解。本文总结了生物燃料学习活动是如何融入教育计划的。
Student learning is greatly enhanced when students are intrinsically motivated by the subject matter. For many students the topic of biofuels appeals to their intrinsic desire “to make a difference” with respect to the environment. At Kettering University an interdisciplinary group of engineers and scientists have found success in motivating students by introducing biofuel topics into the classroom and by offering undergraduate research and project experiences. Through these experiences students are learning both the fundamentals of their disciplines and developing an understanding of the opportunities and challenges associated with producing and utilizing biofuels. This paper provides a summary how biofuel learning activities have been integrated into the educational program.
