CHE 52300 - Engineering Applications Of Biological Molecules


Credit Hours: 3.00.  This course introduces the applications of biological molecules in different engineering fields. The first part of the course will provide a general overview of fundamental molecular and cell biology, biophysics and biomechanics. The second part of the course will focus on three specific areas, namely 1) biopolymer, 2) nanobiotechnology and 3) genetic engineering. For each focus area, a general overview will be provided followed by in-class discussions of seminal papers of the field and team-based case studies. The goal of the course is to introduce the recent advances in the interface of biology and engineering to our students and prepare them for research and development work in interdisciplinary environments.  Credits: 3.00
