The hands-on course will cover the fundamentals of biodiesel with an emphasis on fuel production, quality control, engine performance, and vehicle emissions. Students will produce biodiesel by the transesterification process and perform ASTM measurements to determine chemical and physical properties of fuel. The course is designed for diesel technicians, fleet managers, chemical process operators, and others with an interest in the technical aspects of biodiesel production and use.

The course is made available with partial support provided by the National Science Foundation DUE/ATE award.
