The growing demand for alternative fuels has propelled biodiesel into the spotlight as a viable solution. This case study at Manhattan College exemplifies interdisciplinary collaboration between chemical engineering and business students. It focuses on transforming waste vegetable oil into biodiesel, offering an eco-friendly fuel source and glycerin for soap and candle production. MBA students conducted a feasibility analysis for these products. Promising applications emerged: Biodiesel for generators, glycerin-based soap, and candles. This experience equips students with practical skills and emphasizes the value of engineering-business partnerships in education, encouraging cross-disciplinary teamwork and sustainable innovation.
