Course Summary:
BT1020 - Materials and Energy Balances
This course covers basic material and energy balances and their applications in bioprocess industries by using examples based on bioprocess operations and other biological systems. It will discuss techniques to analyze and solve basic material balances on single and multiple-unit processes, perform energy balances on closed and open systems in nonreactive and reactive processes, and perform simultaneous material and energy balances on steady state and transient processes.
BT5011 - Biomaterials Engineering
This course covers various classes of biomaterials used in medical applications, characterization of material properties, biocompatibility, and translational use in tissue engineering and drug delivery. It will discuss application of the knowledge of mathematics, engineering, and basic sciences to understand the design, development and fabrication of biomaterials, techniques to analyze fundamental biomaterial properties, recent developments in the field of biomaterials, current issues faced, and strategies to design medical devices using biomaterials to meet the desired standards.
BT1010 - Life Sciences
This course provides suitable exposure to the fundamentals in biology in a manner that interests the students, so that they would not be scared of biology, but refresh/update their knowledge and apply it effectively when needed later in life. The previous few centuries saw a better fundamental understanding of the physical and chemical world through advances in physics and chemistry. It gave rise to technologies and products, such as computers, communication devices, aircraft, and others that revolutionized life. A similar phenomenon is expected in the world of biology. Many engineers are expected to contribute to a biological aspect to fuel this revolution. Therefore, undergraduates need to be suitably exposed at least to the very minimum biology, so that they would at least be able to consider a biological system/aspect in which they could make appropriate contributions, through their main expertise, say electrical engineering, computer science, materials engineering, or any other.
