ABE News

ABET Changes - An important change in our undergraduate engineering degree programs has been recently finalized. Beginning in August 2009, our BS Agricultural and Biological Engineering (BS ABE) degree will be split into two degrees: BS Agricultural Engineering and BS Biological Engineering. We began offering the BS ABE degree in August 1997 (had been BS Agricultural Engineering prior to that). Students in the Biological and Food Processing area will pursue the BS Biological Engineering degree while students in Machine Systems and the Environment and Natural Resources areas will pursue the BS Agricultural Engineering degree. The splitting of the BS ABE into two

degrees helps us align with ABET criteria. Most importantly though, this split will allow us to maintain the comprehensive nature of our programs

while providing continued opportunities to improve and grow. Our Agricultural Systems Management degree (previously Agricultural

Mechanization) remains the same. Professor John Lumkes traveled with four ABE students (Austin Bello, Craig Blough, John Gibson, and Jacob Oswalt) - from May 17-26 to Bangang, Cameroon to assist the African Centre for Renewable Energy and Sustainable Technology (ACREST, www.acrest.org) with developing affordable transportation for rural areas in Africa. During the Spring semester the students were members on a student design team advised by Dr. Lumkes. The team focused on designing and building a basic utility vehicle (BUV) for developing countries (www.drivebuv.org), with an emphasis on vehicle use in Cameroon. In addition to the transportation project the Purdue group also helped with renewable energy projects including wind and water electricity generation, and pressing oil from local seeds (jatropha, castor, and avocado) for use as a renewable biofuel source for the vehicles.

During their time in Cameroon the Purdue group repaired and improved a demonstration BUV for ACREST, sketched designs for a cross-flow hydroelectric turbine, discussed the formation and layout of a local micro-factory to produce BUVs using local parts, participated in the national day festival and a funeral celebration, ate a wide variety of local foods, met with faculty and staff at the University of Dschang, hiked to several waterfalls, and made lasting friendships with the members of ACREST. The trip was a joint effort with college of Agriculture, the college of Engineering, ACREST, the Institute for Affordable Transportation, and the Agricultural and Biological Engineering department.

The goal is to continue developing a sustainable partnership with ACREST in the areas of affordable transportation, renewable fuels, sustainable agriculture and food preservation, wind and hydro energy generation using appropriate technology for local villages, and soil and water environmental projects. If you or someone you know is interested in getting involved, please contact Professors John Lumkes (lumkes@purdue.edu), Klein Ileleji (ileliji@purdue.edu), or Rabi Mohtar (mohtar@purdue.edu) for more information. Student of all levels from engineering, agriculture, and management are welcome to participate. There are also opportunities for summer internships working on-site at ACREST.

Chad Martin – Windiana 2009 conference was held in Indianapolis on July 21 – 22nd and was hosted by the Purdue Energy Center and the Indiana Office of Energy Development. ABE Renewable Energy Extension Specialist, Chad Martin served on the planning committee for the event which was coordinated by the Purdue Office of the Vice President of Research. The conference drew about 640 people from not only Indiana, but representatives from the International community. This is nearly three times the crowd which participated in last year’s inaugural event. Topics included local government and landowner planning for large wind farm development, integrating existing businesses within the wind industry supply chain, and small/community wind project development. Martin coordinated and led the panel discussion on small and community wind feasibility which showcased examples from around the state. Purdue Extension provided a booth display which distributed well over 300 renewable energy publications to participants. Extension team member Curt Emanuel of Clinton County Extension was on hand to provide insight to participants. Martin and Emanuel also led a contingency of participants on wind farm bus tours in Benton County which was hosted by BP Alternative Energy. The conference will likely continue its growth and evolve as a result of the robust growth of Indiana’s wind industry. The American Wind Energy Association recently ranked Indiana as the fastest growing wind energy state in the country.”
