Course description and aims

In biochemical reaction engineering, emphasis is placed on the use of biocatalysts in production and material transformation. An overview of recent topics on screening and breeding of biological resources, reaction kinetics of biocatalysts, bioreactor, bioseparation, genome technology and genetic engineering, biomeasurements, and environmental biotechnology is provided. Students are expected to aquire basic knowledge of biotechnology and biochemical engineering from this course.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1)　Explain characteristics of microorganisms and its cultivation conditions
2)　Analyze reaction kinetics of microbial culture and bioproduct
3)　Explain characteristics of enzymes and its reaction kinetics
4) Explain design and operating condition of bioreactor, and methods for separation of bioproduct

Keywords

Chemical reaction engineering, Enzymatic reaction, Microbial Fermentation, Bioseparation

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purpose.
In every class, a summary of the previous lecture is given.
Towards the end of each class, students are required to solve exercise problems related to the material covered in the class.
