CHE U630 - Biochemical Engineering Fundamentals

Institution:

Northeastern University

Subject:

Description:

Presents key biological concepts and applies chemical engineering principles (material balances, kinetics, and transport phenomena) to biological systems. Introductory topics include cell biology, enzymes kinetics, replication, transcription, translation, metabolic pathways, and genetic engineering. The majority of the course is devoted to kinetics of growth and product formation from cell cultures; biological reactor kinetics, design, and scale-up; transport phenomena in biological systems; and downstream processing of biological products. Explores the applications and processing of electronic materials in nano-scale films and nanostructures. Stresses nanotechnology as an important field of chemical engineering that has applications in a variety of fields, such as material processing, drug delivery, semiconductor devices, and catalysis. Emphasizes the basic properties of electronic materials and the fundamental kinetic and transport principles in the manufacturing of thin films and nanostructures. Discusses the fundamentals in terms of the latest research in multifunctional devices and nanotechnology.
