NSF CRCD: Chemicals From Biorenewables

该奖项为爱荷华州州立大学的首席研究员Charles Glatz提供资金，用于为期三年的联合研究课程开发奖，题为“NSF CRCD：来自生物可再生能源的化学品。“这个项目将为学生提供一个独特而宝贵的经验，让他们有机会在涉及生物可再生能源的尖端问题的多学科团队中工作，同时使用新的基于问题的学习方法。 该项目的重点将是从化学品的生物可再生来源的发展到新的和现有的课程在化学工程课程的重要新兴领域，让学生体验过程和产品开发之间的差异。 新的材料将主要作为实验室的组成部分，与三个现有的和一个新的讲座课程并行提供。 教育方法将是在多学科小组中以问题为基础的学习。

This award provides funding to Iowa State University, Charles Glatz, Principal Investigator, for a three-year Combined Research-Curriculum Development award entitled, "NSF CRCD: Chemicals from Biorenewables."This project will provide a unique and valuable experience for students by giving them an opportunity to work in multidisciplinary teams on cutting-edge problems involving biorenewables, while using novel problem-based learning approaches. The focus of this project will be on bringing important emergent areas from the development of biorenewable sources of chemicals into new and existing courses in the Chemical Engineering curriculum and to let students experience the differences between process and product development. The new material will be added mainly as a laboratory component offered in parallel with three existing and one new lecture course. The educational approach will be one of problem-based learning in multidisciplinary teams.
