Course Objectives and Outlines

Objectives:

The objective of the course, as implied by the course content above, is to introduce advanced enzyme engineering concepts primarily to biochemical engineers. The course does not assume any enzyme background or any prior courses in biology or microbiology, although it certainly helps to have some or much. To accommodate those who do not have the biological background, the course will first survey the basic ideas from microbiology, biochemistry, and bioprocess engineering. Subsequently, the emphasis will be application of the following core biological reaction engineering concepts to biological problems.
