These lessons were put together by Ms. Gawron as a result of her research opportunities with the GIFT program and through the kindness of the research engineers at the University of Georgia.

You will find several biodiesel lessons authored by Ms. Gawron as well as other lessons put together by co-workers and other GIFT participants. If you have any questions about any of these, do not hesitate to contact Ms. Gawron via email
