CHE 340Introduction to Biomolecular Engineering
This course introduces students to the concepts and principles needed to apply chemical engineering principles to the design, modification, and analysis of biological systems for biotechnology applications. Students will learn to use appropriate search engines to find genes and proteins with desired regulatory or biocatalytic properties. The course will cover: the similarities and differences between biological and chemical processes; statistical analyses of measurements and data; and estimation of enzymatic and growth kinetic parameters.
