Course specific prerequisites
Basic eligibility for the Bioengineering programme.Aim
The course is an introduction to the bioscience area and should give the student a cross-disciplinary insight into biotechnological processes from molecular biology to industrial production, as well as into biological applications within other engineering fields.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
After completing the course, the student is expected to be able to- Generally describe the content of the technique area biotechnology
- Describe common methods used in biotech research learned from the lectures
- Be able to describe work tasks and roles suitable for a bioengineer
Content
- Lectures in biotechnology. Focus on local biotech research in academy and industry
Organisation
- The course contains lectures given by researchers at Chalmers and industrial presentations
- Attendance is compulsory on several parts of the course, see the course PM for further details.
- Different examples from the biotechnology field ranging from the molecular level to the development/production of a final product will be given.
Literature
Power point presentations from lectures
Examination including compulsory elements
Dugga and compulsory attendance at certain occasions (see course PM).Dugga consists of a form with simple questions where 75% of the questions should be adequately addressed.
