Note:
1.3.2 This project seeks to systematically integrate applied thermal and combustion sciences into science and engineering curricula to improve underrepresented minority students’ learning experiences and outcomes at Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU), a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). This educational component will be strongly supported by the proposed research in biofuel combustion, and students’ participation in research will be used as an effective teaching practice to support the proposed curricula enhancement. Research results will be incorporated into science and engineering curricula by engaging in-class demonstrations, lab experiments, and independent capstone projects. These integrated research and educational efforts will establish a new research capability in the state-of-the-art biofuel combustion at PVAMU, improve the quality of preparation of students for careers in STEM fields,
