Mass and Energy Balance in Biological Systems (Spring)
The objective of this course is to introduce students to synthesize various processes that are used to convert raw materials to end products. The students learn to quantify industrial processes through material and energy balance, selecting appropriate separation processes, and optimizing key process variables. Examples from bioprocessing and food industry will be used as illustrations.
Introduction to Engineering Design (Fall)
This course teaches students how to identify, formulate, develop/complete open-ended designs in bioproducts & biosystems engineering at the conceptual level; engineering economics principles, safety/health considerations, and ethics for design project.
