4 Rationale for This course introduces the fundamental biochemical engineering concepts primarily to
inclusion of chemical engineers. To accommodate those who do not have the biological
Course in the background, the course will first introduce the basic ideas from microbiology,
Programme biochemistry, and biology.

12 Synopsis This course focuses on the interaction of chemical engineering, biochemistry, and
microbiology. This course covers the principles and applications of biochemical
engineering components and methods for the analysis, design, operation, and
monitoring of biochemical engineering processes and reactors. Enzyme kinetics and
enzymology, cell growth and metabolism, industrial fermentation, agitation, and
sterilization round out the subject material.
