The academic content and curriculum of the Bachelor of Science in Chemical-Biological Engineering Program provides students with a solid foundation in basic sciences and engineering, while focusing on unique topics at the intersection of these disciplines. The curriculum of the program generally consists of basic sciences, engineering courses, specialization courses and laboratory studies.
Basic Science Courses: The first years of the program generally emphasize basic science courses such as mathematics, general chemistry, physics and biology. These courses provide students with the mathematical and scientific foundations necessary to understand and solve engineering problems.
Engineering Courses: Basic engineering courses introduce students to topics such as engineering design, systems analysis, and engineering ethics. These courses develop students' ability to analyze, model and solve engineering problems.
Specialized Courses: Courses focusing on specific areas of chemical and biological engineering, including organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, process engineering, bioreactor design and bioprocess engineering. These courses provide students with in-depth knowledge and skills in related fields.
Laboratory Studies and Applied Courses: Laboratory studies, which are an important part of the program, offer students the chance to apply their theoretical knowledge. These studies develop skills in experimental techniques, data analysis and report writing. In addition, students gain experience in project-based learning and teamwork.
Elective Courses and Specialization Areas: Students can take a variety of elective courses according to their interests and career goals. These elective courses allow students to specialize in specific areas, such as environmental biotechnology, pharmaceutical technology or renewable energy technologies.
Design and Capstone Projects: For upper-level students, design and capstone projects offer the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills learned to solve real-world problems. These projects give students the chance to develop research, problem solving and project management skills.
This curriculum structure provides students with a comprehensive education in Chemical-Biological Engineering, while at the same time allowing students to develop themselves in specific areas of interest. Through this program, students both consolidate their theoretical knowledge and develop practical application skills. This prepares them for careers in various sectors after graduation.
