Courses

A culminating experience in which the student synthesizes his/her course knowledge and experimental skills into a brief but detailed experimental study, which also involves cross-field interdisciplinary cooperation. Although in some cases this project may be done individually under the supervision of one faculty member, it is expected that students will join in a team-based, collaborative effort involving students from a number of different disciplines, post-doctoral fellows and industry representatives and with intercampus participation.

An introduction to laboratory methods in biotechnology and to the biotechnology industry. The course includes genetic engineering, protein manufacture, purification and analysis. The laboratory component includes bioengineering techniques, biosafety, data acquisition and analysis. There is also an introduction to software for engineering analysis and modeling.

An engineering approach to microbiology and bio-based products. This course discusses cellular and organismal metabolic networks and the mathematical and experimental manipulation of those networks. The techniques of synthetic biology and metabolic flux analysis, core concepts in metabolic engineering, are focused on here.

A seminar course for Women in Engineering (WiE) community. The seminar course utilizes activities, including class discussions, workshops, invited guest speakers and critical reflections related to a specific theme in engineering. Open only to first-year resident students enrolled in the WiE community, including women in engineering and pre-engineering. May be repeated for Credit/No Credit with a change in content.

Introduction to engineering and computing with emphasis on development of problem solving skills through projects. The course is designed to increase the success of first year students. It includes an overview of majors in the college, and the importance of engaged learning. Team work, written and oral communication skills are covered. Ethical issues in engineering and computing are discussed.
