3.00 Credits
The analysis and design of biochemical processes used to transform pollutants are investigated in this course. Suspended growth, attached growth, and porous media systems will be analyzed. Common biochemical operations used for water, wastewater, and sludge treatment will be discussed. Biochemical systems for organic oxidation and fermentation and inorganic oxidation and reduction will be presented. Prerequisites: ESGN504 or consent of the instructor. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to assessing the effects of toxic substances on aquatic organisms, communities, and ecosystems. Topics include general toxicological principles, water quality standards, quantitative structure-activity relationships, single species and community-level toxicity measures, regulatory issues, and career opportunities. The course includes hands-on experience with toxicity testing and subsequent data reduction. Prerequisite: none. 2.5 hours lecture; 1 hour lab; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to general concepts of ecology, biochemistry, and toxicology. The introductory material will provide a foundation for understanding why, and to what extent, a variety of products and by-products of advanced industrialized societies are toxic. Classes of substances to be examined include metals, coal, petroleum products, organic compounds, pesticides, radioactive materials, and others. Prerequisite: none. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Material biocompatibility is a function of tissue/ implant mechanics, implant morphology and surface chemistry. The interaction of the physiologic environment with a material is present at each of these levels, with subjects including material mechanical/structural matching to surrounding tissues, tissue responses to materials (inflammation, immune response), anabolic cellular responses and tissue engineering of new tissues on scaffold materials. This course is intended for senior level undergraduates and first year graduate students.
-
3.00 Credits
Applications of recombinant DNA technology to the development of enzymes and organisms used for environmentally friendly industrial purposes. Topics include genetic engineering technology, biocatalysis of industrial processes by extremozymes, dye synthesis, biodegradation of aromatic compounds and chlorinated solvents, biosynthesis of polymers and fuels, and agricultural biotechnology. Prerequisite: introductory microbiology and organic chemistry or consent of the instructor. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
