Biochemical Engineering: Course Description
Professor Kristala Jones Prather taught the 'Biochemical Engineering' lecture course to advanced bachelor's degree students in the Chemical Engineering Department. Biochemical engineering is a science that deals with the use of biological components like enzymes and microbes to develop and manufacture important consumer products. 'Biochemical Engineering' students explore enzyme classification, and they learn to catalyze chemical reactions by depositing biological components like enzymes into chemical substrates. Students in this class also spend time learning about the construction of bioreactors, which house everyday biochemical processes like sewage treatment. This 'Biochemical Engineering' course even teaches students about microbes (fungi, yeast, bacteria, ect.), which are used in cutting-edge areas like biotech engineering.
This OpenCourseWare includes a reading list for the course, problem sets, practice exam problems and handouts. If you're interested in taking this free course, visit the biochemical engineering course page.
