ABSTRACT HRD 0927876Fisk University is enhancing the education of undergraduate students in traditional and alternative energy sources through a combination of course work and undergraduate research. Unlike other undergraduate research programs, this project is actively training students to take their ideas and research results to the market place, resulting in new minority owned businesses related to alternative energy. The program has three major components. First, we are developing a new course in "Energy and Fuels". This course is for science majors who have a good basic science background but do not have specialized knowledge from advanced courses. The second component is undergraduate research experience in alternative fuels. This element serves the dual function of providing an advanced laboratory in which students learn the techniques, and a way for students to perform and publish original research in alternative fuels. Finally, participating students are taking an existing class in "Entrepreneurial Development", where they are learning to put their ideas on alternative energy into a formal business plan. Mentoring is also being provided for students who wish to start energy related businesses on graduation

摘要 HRD 0927876菲斯克大学正在通过课程作业和本科生研究相结合，加强本科生在传统能源和替代能源方面的教育。与其他本科研究项目不同，该项目正在积极培训学生将他们的想法和研究成果推向市场，从而产生与替代能源相关的新的少数族裔企业。该计划由三个主要部分组成。首先，我们正在开发“能源和燃料”新课程。本课程适合具有良好基础科学背景但没有高级课程专业知识的理科专业学生。第二部分是替代燃料方面的本科生研究经验。该元素具有双重功能，即提供一个先进的实验室供学生学习技术，并为学生提供一种进行和发表替代燃料原创研究的方法。最后，参与的学生将参加“创业发展”的现有课程，学习将他们对替代能源的想法转化为正式的商业计划。还为希望毕业后开展能源相关业务的学生提供指导
