BIOSUCCEED: BIOproducts Sustainability, a University Cooperative Center for Excellence in Education (ncsu.edu/biosucceed) is a virtual center of excellence to provide educational tools for public interest in the “green” economy. Recently, we provided a programmatic review at the Spring 2010 National ACS Meeting discussing our mission, goals, and modules. BioSUCEED is aligned with ongoing curriculum development at NCSU, NCAT, and UT. For example, NCSU started a campus-wide biomass  bioenergy initiative, NCAT has a new interdisciplinary Energy and Environmental Studies graduate program and new undergraduate thematic clusters that emphasize emerging technologies, and UT is leading a regional SUNGRANT program (sungrant.tennessee.edu). In this presentation, we will review some of the key concepts already discussed and provide new concepts developed in the biomaterial chemistry of cellulose. We will discuss some of the powerful biomaterials  bioenergy manufacturing and analytical techniques that have arisen from our teaching laboratory work including electrospinning, GC analysis of fermentation of biomass, and development of new biomaterials. All of the information is freely available at the website for use in academic, industrial, or governmental settings. The partnering universities expect that BioSUCCEED will produce students to galvanize the biomass  bioenergy paradigmatic shift from the petroleum-dominated landscape to one based on renewable feedstocks. Ultimately, increased involvement in the mission of BioSUCCEED will provide educated personnel that will maintain environmental compatibility and allow local economies to flourish.
