A brief description of the institution’s efforts to support alternative fuel and power technology in its motorized fleet:
To foster the interest of students on biodiesel, the College of Engineering developed a 7-week mini course comprised of multidisciplinary projects on Biofuels and Sustainability for Freshman Engineering students. In the mini course, freshman students gain hands on experience of synthesizing and characterizing biodiesel from waste cooking oil. Students also learn how to make soap from the glycerol by-product. This mini course has been an effective tool of recruiting students to participate and take active roles in the VU Biodiesel program.
