Acquisition of Equipment for Development of a Bioprocess Engineering Laboratory

工程-化学（53）该项目正在调整和实施生物工艺工程实验室（BEL），该实验室有助于整合科学和工程专业学生的教育，并为他们提供生物技术行业雇用所需的专业知识。该课程改编自Karen McDonald博士在加州大学戴维斯分校（NSF ILI-LLD）开发的课程，并对课程的实验室和多学科团队开发部分进行了修改。具体而言，制药和其他生物技术工业所使用的工艺技术的最新发展正在被添加到实验室课程中，并正在开发微生物生理学，生物信息学和生物化学工程的额外课程，以提高科学和工程学生之间的界面技能。该项目的目标是：利用工业参与开发生物学实验室的实验组件;促进在五门课程中利用工程/科学家学生团队;开发十个生物过程工程实验（两门实验室课程）;为生物化学工程、生物化学和微生物学课程开发五个演示;评估生物学实验室在实现既定目标方面的有效性。

Engineering - Chemical (53) This project is adapting and implementing a Bioprocess Engineering Laboratory (BEL) which is helping to integrate the education of science and engineering students and provide them with the expertise necessary to be hired by the biotechnology industry. The curriculum is an adaptation of that developed at the University of California at Davis (NSF ILI-LLD) by Dr. Karen McDonald, with modifications to both the laboratory and multi-disciplinary team development components of the curriculum. Specifically, the latest developments in process technology utilized by pharmaceutical and other biotechnology industries are being added to the laboratory course, and additional courses in Microbial Physiology, Bioinformatics and Biochemical Engineering are being developed to enhance the interface skills between science and engineering students. The objectives of the project are to: utilize industry participation to develop the experimental components of the BEL; facilitate the utilization of engineering/scientist student teams in five courses; develop ten bioprocess engineering experiments (for the two laboratory courses); develop five demonstrations for biochemical engineering, biochemistry and microbiology courses; assess the effectiveness of the BEL in meeting the stated goal.
