COURSE OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of the course in Bioprocess Principles graduates will be able to
 Apply engineering principles to systems containing biological catalysts to meet the needs of the
society.
 Convert the promises of molecular biology and genetic engineering into new processes to make bio-
products in economically feasible way.
 Interpret the kinetics of living cells and to develop a strategy to solve the issues emerging during
fermentation processes.
 Enhance and modify the biological materials to improve its usefulness by finding the optimal
formulation materials to facilitate product production.
