Learning outcomes of the course unit

Results of the subject study will be:
a) theoretical knowledge of basic bioengineering apparatus,
b) the ability to balance bioreactors systems,
c) skills to process bioengineering results and to apply them on practice tasks,
d) gain of overview about present situation in the science and research in bioengineering field,
e) competence to process the final knowledge in another subjects of the study field and in student's final works too.

Prerequisites

The best important is the basic knowledge of the biochemical and microbiological apparatus, first of all are necessary the topics of enzymes, cell morphology and physiology. The ability to apply principles of chemical engineering, in particular the physical description of unit operations in reactors, is also required.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Lecture - (2 lessons per week): frontal teaching with using demonstration methods (powerpoint).
Seminars (2 lessons per week): individual work, discussion methods.

Aims

The aim of Bioengineering I is to master the basic bioengineering knowledge of bioreactor systems. To understand the kinetics process in reactors. To achieve the ability to solve balancing industrial and laboratory tasks in the field of fermentative and enzyme technologies.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

During the semester, students will process the applied tasks (full-time form in the exercises, combined form as correspondence tasks).
After individual subject units, students should pass through written excercises with max. of 30 points. Minimum for success: 15 points. (both forms of study).
