Registration is now open for “Fundamentals of Fuel Ethanol Production.” The five-week, 10-lecture course runs from March 2-April 3, 2009.

No travel is required to participate in the course, which is limited to 50 people and taught by Dr. Klein Ileleji of Purdue University; students only need a computer with a CD player and an Internet connection.

Those who complete the course are eligible to receive one continuing education unit from KSU.
