NSF CRCD: Chemicals From Biorenewables

该奖项为爱荷华州立大学首席研究员Charles Glatz提供资金，用于颁发为期三年的研究与课程发展相结合的奖项，名为“NSF CRCD：生物可再生能源中的化学物质”。该项目将为学生提供独特而宝贵的经验，让他们有机会在多学科团队中研究与生物可再生能源相关的前沿问题，同时使用新颖的基于问题的学习方法。该项目的重点将是将生物可再生化学品来源开发中的重要新兴领域纳入化学工程课程的新课程和现有课程，并让学生体验过程和产品开发之间的差异。新材料将主要作为实验室组成部分，与现有的三门课程和一门新的授课课程同时提供。教育方法将是多学科团队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.
