Curious about how chemistry and biology can solve real-world environmental challenges? This course is your chance to dive into the exciting world of renewable energy! Using waste cooking oil from campus dining halls and algae grown in a bioreactor that we built ourselves, you'll learn how to produce biodiesel that can fuel cars. Discover how the intersection of chemical engineering and biology turns algae into biofuel, and perform experiments first-hand to see how simple chemical processes can create big changes for the environment. Join us as we explore renewable energy, recycling, and innovative sustainable solutions!
