Scholarships for Mechanical Engineering Faculty to Attend Bioprocessing Courses

ASME的生物过程工程项目正在提供两门与生物制药制造有关的高级课程：过程设备技术过程设备设计9月25日当周，在弗吉尼亚大学。听众将是工艺开发、制造设施和设备工程师。每门3天的课程预计有50名学生。大多数美国生物技术行业都在使用劳动密集型和成本高昂的制造方法。ASME生物加工计划的目标是帮助该行业开发连续、仪表化和自动化的生产方法，使其治疗和兽用蛋白质在世界市场上具有竞争力。现在严重缺乏训练有素的工程师来扩大商业生产。这里要求的奖学金是给ME教员参加ASME生物处理设备、技术和设计方面的灌输课程。因此，他们将更好地准备在其机构开设课程，为美国生物技术行业培养合格的设备工程师。

The ASME's Bioprocess Engineering Program is presenting two advanced courses concerning the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals: Process Equipment Technology Process Equipment Design at the University of Virginia during the week of 25 September 1989. The audience will be process-development, manufacturing-facility, and equipment engineers. Fifty students are expected for each 3 day course. Most of the US biotechnology industry is employing labor intensive and costly manufacturing methods. The objective of the ASME's bioprocessing program is to help the industry develop continuous, instrumented and automated production methods which can make its therapeutic and veterinary proteins competitive in world markets. There now is a severe shortage of properly trained engineers for commercial-production scale- up. The scholarships requested here are for ME faculty to attend the ASME courses for indoctrination in bioprocessing equipment technology and design. They will thus be better prepared to initiate curricula at their institutions to produce qualified equipment engineers for the US biotechnology industry.
