EB 1001 - Intro to BioMolecular Engineering

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits

Course Description
The course introduces students to details of biomolecular engineering and the kinds of professional placement that can obtain through it.  The course also addresses biomolecular engineering related contemporary technological, social, ethical, and economic issues that exist at local and global levels. In addition, the course highlights the integration of molecular biology into the engineering fields; including the fusion of biology-based disciplines into chemical engineering; and new areas of biomolecular engineering such as cell and protein engineering, bioprinting, synthetic biology and metabolic engineering. Lecture topics include examples of how biomolecular engineers can incorporate a wide range of biosciences with the Sciences like physics and chemistry to develop new products and can also improve process efficiencies. Servant Leadership, experiential learning projects, life-long learning, biomolecular modeling and basic design and basic computer skills and concepts are introduced. (prereq: none)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Demonstrate the use of basic biomolecular engineering terminology, techniques, and applications.
  • Exhibit knowledge of what biomolecular engineering do - different professions
  • Participate actively in team projects including ethics and rules of teamwork in professional environment with a lifelong learning approach
