Biochemical Engineering

AY2016/2017 Semester 2

Engineers working in the process industries are making increased use of biological systems for production and environmental management. To optimise these processes, chemical engineers need to understand the fundamentals of biological processes and their applications. This course is designed to teach chemical engineers key aspects associated with biochemical processes and key principles of microbiology such as the basic structure and function of cells, enzyme structure and function and basic molecular biology.
