3.00 Credits
This courses instructs students in the following: i) basic biological processes that occur during blood contact with artificial surfaces, ii) how to critically read and review the literature in the field of tissue engineering, iii) how to anticipate bio-compatibility issues relevant to a variety of implant devices that the student may encounter in future endeavors, iv) current approaches directed toward the engineering of cell-based replacements for various tissue types. Prerequisite: adviser's approval
-
3.00 Credits
The course offers an in-depth look at the role of biotechnology in the modern drug development process from the early stage of target identification and generation of lead compounds to the modern methods of drug delivery. All the key aspects, including pre-clinical development, clinical trials and regulatory requirements, will be covered in some detail with considerable input by pharmaceutical industry professionals. Major classes of biotech drugs (e.g., antibodies and other biologics, antibiotics), will be discussed in some detail, and real-life case studies will be presented to illustrate critical points in the overall development process. Prerequisite: adviser's approval.

3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the contribution of biotechnology to the modern health care. It provides a broad overview of the most exciting new technologies, such as tissue engineering and stem cell research, and discusses a wide range of applications. The course also offers an overview of more traditional biotech products, e.g., vaccination, blood preservation and substitutes, diagnostics, and discusses in some detail the role of biotechnology in the management of the biggest heath care challenges of our time: the aging population and obesity epidemics. Some key lectures in the course will be delivered by leading industry professionals. Prerequisite: adviser's approval.
-
3.00 Credits
The course focuses on technologies underlying the development of modern biosensors and biochip, including nanotechnology, multi-array analytical formats, and adaptation of methods well established in the microelectronics industry. In addition, the course will cover the most promising practical applications of the biosensors and biochips technology in health care, medical diagnostics, defense and other areas. The state and economics of this dynamic market and emerging trends will also be discussed in some detail. Prerequisite: Adviser's approval.
-
3.00 Credits
The course primarily focuses on the commercial use of biological catalysts across various industry segments, including pharmaceuticals, health care, fine chemicals and food. The course combines a broad overview of the cutting-edge technologies with industrial insights into the economics of bio-processing, and deals with newly emerging trends in biomaterials. Case studies will be presented to facilitate the analysis, formulate the trends and underline major challenges. Prerequisite: Adviser's approval.
-
3.00 - 9.00 Credits
This practical course offers students the opportunity to practically apply the knowledge/ skills gained to the analysis of business opportunities, preparation of their own business plans or working in/with an early stage biotech company. The student may sign up for a total of 3, 6 or 9 credits of this course, which is normally taken in the third semester.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces and develops design and analysis from a broad view through realworld examples. Simple material and energy balances are introduced along with the concept of mathematical modeling. Graphical analysis as a design tool is introduced along with basic concepts of error, uncertainty and data fitting. Dimensional analysis and the concept of scaling are developed. Prerequisites: CM 1004 and EG 1004.
-
3.00 Credits
This course prepares students to formulate and solve material and energy balances on chemical and biological process systems and lays the foundation for subsequent courses in thermodynamics, unit operations, kinetics, and process dynamics and control. More fundamentally, it introduces the engineering approach to problem solving: breaking a process down into its components, establishing the relations between known and unknown process variables, assembling the information needed to solve for the unknowns and, fi-nally, obtaining the solution using appropriate computational methods. Prerequisites: CM 1004 and MA 1024.
-
3.00 Credits
3:0:0:2 This course examines a set of essential linear and nonlinear mathematical methods needed to the solution of engineering problems described by sets of algebraic equations, ordinary differential, as well as partial differential equations. Emphasis is placed in understanding the fundamental mathematical ideas through their effective application in complex engineering problems such as complex reaction networks, transient phenomena in reactors and mass transfer through membranes. Prerequisites: CBE 2124, MA 2122, MA 2132, or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to conservation of mass, momentum and energy in open systems. Newtonian fluids in laminar and turbulent flow. Differential equations for conservation of mass and momentum. Differential equations for heat transfer by conduction and convection. Use of those differential equations to analyze chemical and biological systems. Prerequisites: MA 2132 and CBE 2124.
